Burnley boss Dyche delighted with manner of goals for victory over Norwich

Burnley boss Sean Dyche was delighted with the manner of their goals for victory over Norwich City.

The Clarets boss celebrated becoming the fourth longest serving manager in the club's history with three deserved points, thanks to Chris Wood's early brace.

Wood struck twice in the 10th and 14th minutes, first with a near post header from a perfect Ashley Westwood corner and then with a smart near post flick to get on the end of Dwight McNeil's delicious cross.

“For the set piece I was pleased with my staff because there are certain things they work on and they deserve a lot of credit for that," explained Dyche.

“For the second, we know what a good young player Dwight is. He keeps developing all the time and he's got great feet and pulls a lovely ball back.

“Woody is on the spot and it's a great bit of movement and a good finish because they are not easy.

My only gripe was that we didn't capitalise on so many counter-attacks in the second half, but they've shown me enough, yet again, that we are a force when we get things right."
