Burnley boss Sean Dyche admits Southampton's match programme did the pre-match talk for him ahead of Saturday's win.

A superb strike by substitute Matej Vydra clinched a 2-1 success on the south coast to make it three victories from four Premier League games for the Clarets.

Dyche, when discussing the win, pointed out: "Ironically the (Saints) programme said Sheffield United have played more long balls than us and yet they are definitely not long balls, but I am not really worried about it and I know Chris (Wilder) is not.

"He will not mind me mentioning that because he is a fantastic fella and look at the job he is doing so he won't mind me saying that and it was in the programme.

"A good technical analysis in their programme, I quite enjoyed that. I told the lads and said, 'there you go, that is what they think of you' and it is always lovely when they give you that little edge to work on. I love that."

He added: "I didn't need to (show the players), they read it and they read the disparaging remarks about Charlie Taylor of all people!

"I think his form has almost been worth mentioning thinking of the national side. Not yet but I think they will certainly be keeping a background check on him and I love that, I don't know why programmes do it. I love it and it is like fuel. I sit there and think, 'you beauty'."
