Burnley boss Sean Dyche found positives for defeat to Tottenham.

Christian Eriksen fired Spurs' injury-time winner on Saturday.

Dyche, who opted for a three-man central defensive unit in a bid to stifle Spurs, said: “We thought it was going to be that type of game from our point of view.

“We came down here with a solid formation, with a change of shape.

“That's not easy, but we've worked on it all week because I felt it was appropriate. I'm open minded in that respect and I've thought about it many times, but I didn't want to do it in a three-game week.

“Today was the right moment and the players delivered against a top side who can create lots of chances.

“Ironically, it was a big boot down the middle at the end that they scored from! But generally, the defensive framework of the side was good and overall we are just frustrated because the players put in a shift, not just physically, but mentally."
