Burnley boss Sean Dyche was satisfied with their 0-0 draw against Newcastle United.

A solid defensive display and a fourth clean sheet in five games – making it a league best 11 for the season – laid solid foundations as Burnley extended their unbeaten run to six.

“We have come on the road to this football club, where Newcastle have only lost three times all season, and we've got a clean sheet and a point and I'm still a bit disappointed. That's a marker to where we are now," said Dyche.

“Four wins and two draws is not an easy run to put together in the Premier League, but we are often better than people think.

“We are on 38 points and I'm always hungry for more. I have to remain balanced because are still a work in progress and there are no statements of grandeur.

“I just feel a little bit deflated because we came here in good spirits and looked a bit flat.

“I'm sure tomorrow morning, when I wake up, I'll be a lot more pleased than I am now, but I do expect a lot of these players and they should too because they are maturing all the while and earning the right to be in the Premier League.

“I'm probably being hyper-critical of the players because they have put a lot of points on the board recently, but you do get greedy and more expectant of performance levels.

“I think with what we had achieved in the last five games, coming into this one, I was expecting more confidence with the ball.

“However, we did all the hard yards to ensure we got a clean sheet and a point."
