Burnley boss Sean Dyche was delighted for matchwinner Matej Vydra after victory over Southampton.
Dyche felt Vydra – on target for the first time in 17 months – deserved the accolades after being pressed into action early at St Mary's following a hamstring injury to Chris Wood.
“The squad mentality is a massive thing for us because we don't roll through the Premier League every year winning games easily," said Dyche.
“We have to work for everything and that takes a squad, so great credit to Matej, along with many others here who don't always get a lot of football, but who, when they are ready, come in and perform.
“That's credit to professionalism and how they train - and all the other lads getting around them and looking after them, when they aren't playing.
“That's the unity of the players here. They care about each other and they know how hard it is.
“There is so much respect in this group and we insist on that. Even when players are not in the side, they know they are respected and that roar in the dressing room was for a player who has worked hard in training and stuck at it and then finds a magic moment, for him and for us!
“He deserves all the credit today for a fine goal that was worthy of winning any game."
