Dyche delighted to see 12,000-strong crowd support Burnley

Burnley boss Sean Dyche was delighted to see a crowd of more than 12,000 at Turf Moor for the FA Cup tie against Sunderland on Tuesday night.

A crowd of 12,257, the biggest among all the FA Cup ties on the night, was present as the Clarets registered a 2-0 win over the Black Cats in the third-round replay.

"It's fantastic when you get 12,000-odd," Dyche said.

"I must give the club credit tonight with the pricing. I think that was important and to get so many people here tonight, I'm pleased for them.

"They've seen another good Burnley side win a game so I'm really pleased for them as well."

Goals ether side of half-time from Sam Vokes and substitute Andre Gray did the damage as Burnley moved into the next phase of the famous cup competition.
