Burnley boss Sean Dyche hailed his players as victory over Norwich City has them chasing down club records.

The Clarets now have a chance to better the 54 points amassed in 2018 when they face Brighton in the Turf Moor curtain call next Sunday.

And with Chris Wood becoming the first Burnley player to score 13 goals in the top flight since Ray Hankin and Peter Noble in 1975/76, and Nick Pope one clean sheet away from at least a share of the Golden Glove award, Dyche feels his side are going out on a high.

He said: “I'm asking a lot from these players, but when you look at the results we've got I can't be anything other than proud by the sheer mentality to go hard and rack up as many wins as possible.

“This spell has been absolutely fantastic. We've come down here, kept a clean sheet, scored two goals, so there's a lot to be pleased about.

“We've equalled our best ever Premier League points tally and that's a strong marker for a club like Burnley.

“I'm super pleased with the players. They have stayed calm and we've seen through a lot of challenges this season, on and off the pitch.

“But they have stayed steadfast to the cause to deliver and achieve a record number of wins.

“We'd all have taken this at the start of the season. These are very strong times for this football club and against some real challenges, so we should be really pleased.

“Now, we've one game left and the players want to take on that challenge.

“We'll give the players a few days off now and hopefully we'll be full of energy to take on the last game and see where that takes us."
