Burnley defender Tarkowski finds positives around Wood, Vydra partnership

Burnley defender James Tarkowski says the strike-partnership of Chris Wood and Matej Vydra has great potential.

For defeat at Southampton on Sunday, Wood scored for the third game in a row as he equalled Ashley Barnes' club-record tally of 41 Premier League goals, while Vydra moved to five for the season.

“We moved the ball well and made some good chances. The front two looked really dangerous. They caused them problems all day," said Tarkowski.

“They have got a really good link-up. We've got to continue that good work.

“We have been playing well and for the first 30 minutes today we were excellent.

“There are positives to take out of it, but the main thing is the result and it's a shame we didn't get anything.

“We have been in a good place recently and to go 2-0 up and to be cruising and feeling really comfortable, to lose the game 3-2 is very disappointing.

“But we will bounce back. We've got another big game next week and hopefully we can put some more points on the board."
