Charlie Taylor delighted to start in Burnley rout of West Ham

Charlie Taylor was delighted to start in Burnley's victory over West Ham.

After replacing the Erik Pieters at half-time with the Clarets 3-0 down at Sheffield United last weekend, he was handed a place from the start against the Hammers.

He said: “Every professional wants to play but only 11 can. I got my chance to play today and hopefully I can keep my place in the team and keep getting results like that one."

On the 3-0 result, he added: “It was the perfect game for us really. We were bang on it from the first whistle, scored three goals and kept a clean sheet so there's not much more you could ask for, I guess.

“Obviously, we've had a few sticky results that haven't been great but hopefully after today we can put a run of results together."
