Burnley work hard to go up against multi-million pound players - Duff

Burnley defender Michael Duff has heaped praise on his teammates after the 0-0 draw against Tottenham at Turf Moor on Sunday.

The Northern Ireland defender was named Man of the Match and after the game spoke proudly of the side's ability to keep the dangerous Spurs attack, led by Harry Kane, quiet.

"I think as a team we handled him (Kane) well," Duff told Sky Sports 1.

"We pressed them high up the pitch and you could see that many many times. It's something we pride ourselves on.

"We haven't got the multi-multi-million pound superstars that maybe some teams have in this league or the budget to go with it but we work hard and you can see the fans appreciate that."
