Burnley boss Kompany on Aston Villa defeat: I see the improvement every day

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany says they'll learn from defeat at home to Aston Villa.

Burnley lost 3-1 on Sunday, with Lyle Foster getting on the scoresheet.

Kompany said: "We played against a side with a lot of quality. In the key moments, they punished us. At 2-1, it looked like we would come back to 2-2. We created enough chances. The difference was in both boxes. With the belief that our team is ready to rise to that level and embrace every challenge. You don't play against a good side and create as many chances as we did and look at it negatively.

"Look at all the sides that got promoted. To jump from the Championship to the Premier League is probably the biggest jump in world football. Every day I wake up with a smile on my face because I know we're getting better."

On the Turf Moor crowd, he added: "When Lyle [Foster] scores that goal and the lift it gave and the pressure it applied on the opponent. It was continuous. That is the place is has to become. Well done Lyle with his first goal."
