Burnley boss Sean Dyche has hailed the recent performances of striker Ashley Barnes as the striker has found his goalscoring form in the Premier League.

The 25-year-old failed to score in his first nine appearances of the campaign, but has netted three times in his last seven games, including in his side's 1-0 wins over Hull City and Southampton.

However, his strike against Tottenham Hotspur was unable to earn his side a point as the Clarets fell to a 2-1 defeat at White Hart Lane.

Dyche told the club's official website: "Ash is on an upward curve at the minute, not just with his goals but his general performances.

"I only took him off towards the end because he ran out of legs a bit after getting absolutely everything."

Burnley are 18th in the Premier League following their defeat to Spurs.
