Vydra Up For The Challenge

Matej Vydra insists he is happy to play his part following his heroics from the bench at Brighton last weekend.

The Czech striker’s clever back heel for goalscorer Jeff Hendrick, after both players were sent on as substitutes along with Jay Rodriguez, saw the Clarets claim a valuable point in stoppage time at the Amex Stadium.

Vydra said: “I’m here to help the team. If you come off the bench, you have to show the best of you even if you only have 10 minutes.

“I was waiting for the chance and you have to grab it when you get it.
