Sean Dyche Blames 'Sloppy' Defending After Burnley Crash to Resounding Everton Defeat

Sean Dyche has said Burnley only have themselves to blame after a tough afternoon against Everton saw them lose 5-1, saying his side's 'sloppy' defending meant they were playing with fire.

Goals from Yerry Mina, Luca Digne and a penalty from Gylfi Sigurdsson had the Toffees cruising before the half hour mark, and although Burnley threatened to get back into it before half time with Ben Gibson heading in his first goal for the club, further strikes from Digne and Richarlison put the result well beyond doubt.
