Burnley super-sub Vokes happy to score beating Watford

Sam Vokes was delighted to get on the scoresheet for Burnley's win over Watford.

Vokes scored after just seconds coming off the bench.

"It was a great win. The boys have got that winning feeling now and we never know when we're beaten at the minute," said Vokes, who steered home a mis-cued header from Watford defender Adrian Mariappa to claim his fourth goal of the season 24 seconds after coming onto the pitch.

“It's good in games like that, especially when you go 1-0 down, to turn it around.

“We had a free-kick in a great position, so I was trying to get my clothes off as quickly as possible to get on for that.

“It was nice to have an impact early on and when the ball dropped at my feet to tuck it away."
