Burnley boss Dyche praises Lennon after Man Utd defeat

Burnley boss Sean Dyche was happy with Aaron Lennon's goalscoring performance in defeat at Manchester United.

Dyche felt his players turned in an impressive display on the night.

He said: “I was quite pleased with the performance generally, the 18-day thing is something that we must deal with. We are a little bit stretched with Covid and injuries, but we have got a team who could go out there.

“I thought Aaron Lennon was very good, he looked sharp, and he did what we wanted him to do, and there were still some good performances.

“The frustrating thing for me is that we could have made two blocks on the edge of the box, and we didn't, they react to one of them and they get a goal.

“It's hard when you're at Old Trafford and they are 3-0 up, but I thought the mentality was firm, and in the second-half we took the game on and tried to get something from it."
