Burnley boss Sean Dyche says they won't "get carried away" after victory over Manchester City.

George Boyd struck the only goal of the game with a sweet, low left-foot half-volley from the edge of the area just after the hour.

The Clarets' victory - despite some battling recent displays - was only their second in 13 games and pulled them within a point of 17th-placed Sunderland.

Dyche said: "Our will and desire to be in the Premier League is all on show, but we won't get too carried away.

"We know there's a long way to go. The players are grounded.

"We haven't been broken from defeat - we've been dented a few times - but this win reinforces confidence and belief.

"It was deserved, I think. Overall I think we edged it. It was a close game, why wouldn't it be against players of that calibre? I'm obviously delighted with the outcome and the performance.

"I have said many times this season I think the players are improving. I think they are growing and learning at this level.

"It doesn't guarantee the future and there is still room for more, but this reinforces all the good work that has been done."
