Everton boss Sean Dyche says victory over Carabao Cup opponents Burnley was deserved.

Former Claret James Tarkowski struck, as did Amadou Onana and Ashley Young for the 3-0 win.

Dyche later said: "It is not easy to win football matches in any competition. Cup games have a different feel and you have to make sure players are up for the challenge. Overall I'm very pleased. We came off it a bit after the goal and they got back into it - and we went a bit soft. We corrected it at half-time and played strong in the second half. We were worthy winners.

"It was always tempting [to make changes], but the challenge you have is if you want to be super successful, seven or eight years ago people were talking abut Europe here and you play a lot of football. You can play three games in a week, but we have to be sensible. You want to have the mentality to be playing every single game.

"It is a work in progress, but there is progress. Earlier in the season performances were good but we didn't get the results. It doesn't hold weight when you don't win."
