Burnley boss Sean Dyche has praised Matej Vydra for his patience after his match-winning performance against Southampton.
The striker came off the bench to score his first goal in over 500 days to secure a 2-1 win at St Mary's.
It was only Vydra's seventh Premier League appearance of the season, and Dyche says he's delighted to see him take his chance:
“It was a fantastic finish,” the Clarets boss said on BT Sport of the winner. “Everyone has to play their part.
“It’s a great credit to these players. He hasn’t had a lot of football, came in today, worked hard and got his rewards. When they get the chance, they deliver.
“It was a tough one. They are in good form and have a lot of energy in their performances.
“They responded to our goal and were the better side. We kept at it but didn’t find much. At half-time I gave them a reminder of what it takes.
“We had chances and created moments where we could have done better but at the end of the day, you take that. All day long."
Burnley have now moved up to 10th place in the Premier League table and Dyche is hopeful they can now go on a run of wins:
“We just want to build on last season. We want more points. It’s another shift forward. It’s about development. We just have to find a way to win. That’s the art of the game – to win.”
