Heaton: Burnley enjoy underdogs tag

Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton insists they're capable of beating the drop this season.

Burnley have secured back-to-back Premier League wins against Hull City and Stoke City.

"That's something we've talked about," Heaton told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph of using the underdog status to their benefit.

"It's something we try and use. You can be successful I think if you use that underdog tag.

"It's difficult for teams, they don't quite know what to expect, we're new into the league so we like to think we're going to make it difficult for everyone.

"It's always nice to prove the doubters wrong."
