Burnley boss Sean Dyche says Dwight McNeil can play at the elite level.

The former Manchester United trainee struck a wonder goal in victory at Everton yesterday.

"He continues to develop and sometimes goes under the radar. He won't be under the radar after that goal," said Dyche, whose side inflicted a fifth league defeat in the last seven at home for Everton.

“I believe one day he will go on to bigger and better than Burnley, maybe one of the superpower clubs and they will marvel at the work he does for the team as what he can do with the ball.

“There is a healthy balance to his development. For him as a person, he has such a conscientious view of his performance it is almost overpowering.

“I think he puts too much pressure on himself. He demands a lot of himself, which is a great quality to have but sometimes too much.

“Sometimes he comes in after a game and looks broken because he hasn't done the things he wanted to do. Sometimes you have to lighten up.

“He is very good player and can only get better.

“He works incredibly hard – people sometimes forget that. He's learning on that side of the game."
