Burnley boss Dyche: Spurs win a thorough performance

Burnley boss Sean Dyche hailed his strikers after their 2-1 victory over Tottenham.

The Clarets opened the scoring shortly after half-time when Chris Wood headed in Dwight McNeil's inswinging corner.

Spurs striker Harry Kane - making his first appearance since 13 January - equalised after latching on to Danny Rose's quick throw-in and poking past Tom Heaton, but Ashley Barnes tapped in Burnley's second late on.

Dyche said, "It was a thorough performance and a good win. We know there's a lot of work to be done but they're certainly putting in the work.

"We're not a side who can slick it around like Man City but we have very good players. We wanted to get in behind them.

"I thought our front two were outstanding."
