Sean Dyche: 'Burnley unfortunate to lose'

Burnley manager Sean Dyche has suggested that his side were good value for a point against Liverpool in Monday's Premier League clash.

The Clarets looked to have done enough to hold their opponents to a draw after Johann Berg Gudmundsson cancelled out Sadio Mane's opener three minutes from time.

Liverpool snatched a 2-1 victory through Ragnar Klavan's goal in the fourth minute of added time, however, which Dyche believes was cruel on his side.

"We grew into the game; the second half was an even affair," BBC Sport quotes him as saying. "On and off the pitch we have moved forward in a calendar year. We are becoming assured of ourselves in this division.

"We are playing a more mixed game now, last year we got it forwards more often but we are calmer now. We are resolute defensively, we have added to what we had. The quality has risen. To be on 34 points and be unfortunate to not have 35 shows what a season we have had."

Burnley have not won any of their past five league games - their longest run since April last season when going seven without a win.
