Burnley boss Sean Dyche was delighted with the "character" of his players after victory over Leicester City.

The Foxes, despite taking the lead through Harvey Barnes, were beaten 2-1 in Lancashire after Jamie Vardy had a penalty saved and Burnley found the net through Chris Wood and Ashley Westwood.

“I thought it was a deserved win in different ways today. We needed some key moments to go our way, but I thought it was a very good performance," said the Burnley boss.

“There was a fantastic mentality after a few questions were being asked of us, and I must say, I get it.

“We've come a long way at this football club and the expectation rises, but I thought the fans were terrific today.

“Any questions they had went straight out of the door and everyone got right behind the team, no matter what the scoreline. That's so important for us.

“The question marks around us were kind of a back-handed compliment, because people were wondering what was going on.

“But if you think about it, three seasons ago we would have been saying this is just life at Burnley.

“We take that as a compliment and move forwards and we've done that today with that performance and result."
