Burnley boss Sean Dyche is delighted with the focus of his players after victory on Monday at Crystal Palace.

The Clarets had gone into Monday's game at Selhurst Park with questions having been raised about Dyche's position.

That was after he made clear his frustration with the club's hierarchy regarding player contracts - Jeff Hendrick, Aaron Lennon and Joe Hart have departed this week with their deals having ended.

And, speaking ahead of Sunday's clash with Sheffield United, Dyche said: "I said the other night at Palace, from a management point of view that is probably one of my best results.

"Because we are going into that game with all sorts of questions, all sorts going on off the pitch, and yet the team has stayed resolute and focused and delivered a very, very good performance.

"I thanked them afterwards for the amount of effort, the pride and determination they put into pushing away the noise."
