Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton says there's great belief inside the locker room of beating the drop.

Heaton bailed out Burnley with a rare penalty save against Southampton during Saturday's victory.

"Obviously staying in the league is going to be success for us and we feel that we've got a great chance of being successful," he said. "We think it's a great challenge, a great opportunity for us.

"To be honest, we always felt we were not far off. Even when we didn't win for the first 10 games we had the belief to turn things around. Once we got one it sort of opened the floodgates and gave us a bit of freedom. We've got back to what we're all about."
