Burnley boss Dyche: Heaton more than penalty specialist

Burnley boss Sean Dyche hailed goalkeeper Tom Heaton after victory over Southampton.

Heaton saved Dusan Tadic's penalty before Ashley Barnes' deflected effort secured victory and moved the Clarets out of the relegation zone.

"You need a scratch of luck and we got that with the goal but it can't be said with the penalty save because I think that was an outstanding save rather than a miss," Dyche said.

"I think Tom's more than just a penalty specialist, he's been recognised as a very good goalkeeper."
