Burnley defender Pieters: Norwich tactics helped us

Burnley defender Erik Pieters says Norwich City's tactics helped his side secure a 2-0 victory at Turf Moor on Saturday.

A double from Chris Wood saw Sean Dyche's clinch a comfortable victory in front of their supporters.

Pieters believes Norwich penchant for playing out from the back allowed the Clarets to press high up the pitch and capitalise on mistakes.

The Dutchman said: "The way they play and how they beat City playing out from the back helped us.

"We pressed them 100 per cent, we didn't give them any time, so it helped us win the ball and score our goals. I think they helped us."
