Sean Dyche saluted his side’s resilience as the Clarets put a disappointing first half behind then to bag a first away win of the season, at Watford.
Burnley were below par in the opening 45 minutes against a Hornets’ side eager to avoid a club record 11th home game without a win.
But a storming second half brought goals from Chris Wood, Ashley Barnes and James Tarkowski to seal back-to-back wins and take Dyche’s side up to sixth place.
Dyche admitted: “It was a poor first half from us. We were a long way off, never got a grip of things and the defensive unit and our resilience kept us in it.
