Burnley boss Sean Dyche: Good performance; bad result

Burnley boss Sean Dyche admits he was happy with their performance in defeat at home to Crystal Palace.

The Clarets fell to goals in either half from Wilf Zaha and Jeff Schlulpp – and lost Charlie Taylor to a hamstring injury early in the contest.

“Frustration is the right word because I wasn't overly disappointed in the performance," mused Dyche.

“We weren't quite as sharp as we have been recently, but we still created enough chances to get something from the game."

Zaha fired Palace ahead in first half stoppage time, squeezing his shot under Nick Pope from a tight angle.

“I think Nick is a bit disappointed with the first goal, but he's been terrific and I'm certainly not going to question him.

“Then Woody (Chris Woods) misses a golden chance, which is a big moment in the game because we are building then and starting to get them on the back foot.

“The flow of traffic was going that way, but again I am not going to overly question that because he's been exceptional in front of goal.

“Overall, I don't think they had too many chances, but they took them well."
