SEAN Dyche felt Burnley had deserved to get a result out of their trip to Anfield, but admitted it was beginning to sound like a broken record for the Clarets on the road.

They left Liverpool with another away defeat to show for their efforts having taken an early lead through Ashley Barnes.

Georgino Wijnaldum equalised for the Reds on the stroke of half-time and Emre Can hit the winner in the second half.

Having been below-par at Swansea a week ago the Clarets were back to their tenacious best on Merseyside and Dyche is sure an away will will arrive if they can match that display.

"It was a good performance, a solid performance, but unfortunately it can sound like a broken record somewhat,” the Clarets chief said.

“I made it clear early season many times, I didn't think we deserved anything on the road, but latterly we have.

"I thought we deserved something today, resolute in our defending, good organisation and tactical plan - the players delivered it very well generally - a sublime first goal, two or three other very good chances, some good play during the game in general, mixed in with making it really tough for them.”

Dyche revealed drawing Liverpool into a battle had been part of the gameplan.

"We ruffled their feathers, deliberately made it awkward for them and I thought that worked very well,” he said. "We know other teams have done that and suffered.

"But it's a nearly again. We've had too many nearly's on the road, it's our job to make it happen.

"I think, with that type of performance, we will make it happen.”

Dyche felt Burnley had coped well with Liverpool’s first-half approach and said the goal which turned the game had more than a stroke of luck about it.

“I think that's their first shot on target, it's a tough one to call, we'd defended very well when we had to, they got the ball forward a lot more than us, it was going from back to front a lot, into Origi, which we were pleased with,” he said.

"They changed to try and affect the game, and it's a lucky one really, it comes over the heads, Ben Mee gets a good block on it, and it drops beautifully for their player - it's a tough one to take.

"You know what the feeling was at half-time, I don't think the crowd were overwhelmed with the performance, or it didn't feel like that, and then they go in more settled.

"That was unfortunate.

"We responded well second half, I was pleased with that as well, and the second goal is poor really, from that distance, but generally it was another strong performance.

"That's the key thing for me, we're scoring away from home, creating chances, and we've got to make sure we turn that kind of feel into wins and points.

"We're not a million miles away, the margins are fine.”

Dyche reserved special praise for his central defensive duo of Mee and Michael Keane.

"I was pleased with the team in general, not necessarily just individuals, the team in general, though the two centre halves I will say were excellent again,” he said.

"Its head-scratching to think they come off there with a defeat, I thought they were absolutely outstanding.”
