Burnley midfielder Ashley Westwood: We must build on Leicester win

Burnley midfielder Ashley Westwood says they must build on victory over Leicester City on Saturday.

Westwood's first goal at Turf Moor secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Leicester City as the Clarets came from behind to end their four-game losing run.

“It was a massive win for us," said the midfielder, who burst into the box to clinch the points with a clinical 79th-minute strike.

“The character in the group really shows through and it was a great performance.

“That's what we are about. We never give in.

“We need to kick on now. It was always going to be a tough run of fixtures and it was a massive win. It gives us a bit of breathing space. We've got two more big games and then we've got a good run-in.

“We want to be pushing on. We've not quite had the run we wanted to over Christmas but it's a tough league. We have bounced back with a massive win."
