Sean Dyche Says Burnley Are 'Still a Work in Progress' After Losing 3-1 to Crystal Palace

Burnley manager Sean Dyche has admitted he is confused by his side's 3-1 defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday, claiming Burnley are still a work in progress.

Burnley dominated large parts of the first half, but found themselves trailing to a Phil Bardsley own goal. Michy Batshuayi doubled Palace's lead shortly after the break, before Wilfried Zaha's strike ensured Burnley were out of the game, despite a late consolation goal from Ashley Barnes.

When asked for his feelings on the game by Sky Sports, Dyche said: "A bit of a confusing one today. We've dominated a lot of the first half, we created chances, we had big moments, but we weren't clinical enough overall.
