Watford striker Andre Gray shrugged off being jeered by Burnley fans during defeat on Saturday.

Gray came off the bench as Burnley continued their remarkable start to the campaign with a win that lifted them level on points with Spurs and to the brink of the top six.

And he believes football fans around the country will soon get that same message.

Gray said: “Look, they've started fantastically. It's 16 games into the season, not four or five where they've had a great run.

“They've been consistent. People are not going to like coming here and people are not going to like playing against them and that's shown already.

“If they keep going, keep digging in and keep doing what they've been doing for the past three seasons then why not?

“People write them off every year. They wrote them off when I first signed in the Championship then we went and won the league.

“Then last year we were favourites to go down until that final whistle blew on the last game of the season.

“That's just how it is. They'll all know in the dressing room what they're capable of. I think everyone will start to believe sooner or later."
