Burnley winger Lennon: Bournemouth win thanks to going back to basics

Burnley winger Aaron Lennon believes they're back to their best after victory over Bournemouth.

With their Europa League campaign over, Lennon says Burnley's players are now happier focusing on the league.

"We worked all week on getting back to basics," said Lennon, "being on the front foot and doing what we do. From minute one we were in their faces and it paid off for us."

It did. Burnley were in Bournemouth's faces and peppered their visitors' box with crosses. Lennon believes the Clarets' can now repeat last term's success.

"I don't see why not," he said. "The squad is pretty much the same, we've brought in a few quality players as you can see and obviously we're out of the Europa League now and we go back to one game a week so we get to work on the training pitch and hopefully we can kick on from there."
