Dyche impressed with Burnley showing against West Ham: We weren't a million miles off

Sean Dyche was impressed with Burnley's performance against West Ham United.

The Clarets took an early lead but eventually lost 2-1 to the Champions League hopefuls.

"A good game played at a quick tempo, both going at it," Dyche said. "They are chasing Champions League spot and we are trying to look after ourselves. We didn't go too far wrong. Our level of performance has been good. Overall they were the stronger side.

"We didn't stop the crosses enough, especially first half. Transition was a big thing. We gave the ball away too often to a side with a lot of danger.

"Thing for me is levels and we have had that right for a while. Against good sides you need to perform. We weren't a million miles off. They were good and sometimes you need to hold your hands up."
