Burnley boss Dyche pleased with McNeil progress

Burnley boss Sean Dyche is pleased with Dwight McNeil's progress this season.

The teenage winger came into the side against West Ham in December and his inclusion has coincided with a seven-game unbeaten Premier League run.

“He's been fantastic - 19 years old running around the Premier League enjoying his football," said the Clarets chief of the wideman.

“He got another assist (at Brighton). He's a young man with a bright future as long as he keeps working hard, which I believe he will. He's got a good group that will look after him.

“Dwight's new to the Premier League; 19, that's a big thing. You don't have many 19-year-olds rolling around the Premier League and not many in the fight scene.

“He's handling himself very well."
