Burnley boss Sean Dyche: Our first tricky spell

Burnley boss Sean Dyche urged calm after their 4-2 defeat at West Ham.

The Clarets twice came from behind at the London Stadium before finally losing the game 4-2 through a brace from the hosts in the final six minutes.

And Dyche insisted he and his players will emerge fighting from the tough spell of recent results.

He said: “We've had lots of plaudits over the last six years and this is probably our first really tricky spell, so I'm not going to cry it in.

“We have work to do, without a shadow of a doubt, but I couldn't be more proud of the players and what they have all done to get where we are.

“You can't just have the wheel of a ship in calm waters. You have to take it when it's choppy, and you learn a lot more from that.

“I am still learning as a manager and I think the players are because it's the first time they have had a few things go against them, so there's work to be done but I think the mentality on show today was very positive.

“They didn't get their rewards today, but if we keep going about our business in that manner we will get our rewards."
