Sean Dyche was pleased with his squad’s fitness as they kicked off their pre-season with a friendly win over Fulham in Portugal.
The Clarets rounded off a good week on the Algarve with a good work out, capped by Chris Wood’s 70th minute penalty to sink the Londoners.
And Dyche was delighted at his players’ efforts against a Cottagers’ side further into their pre-season schedule.
“It’s nice to have that winning edge and mentality, but this was purely about the players all playing 45 minutes at the end of a good week,” insisted the Burnley boss.
