Burnley midfielder Jeff Hendrick has claimed that he would have been hauled off by manager Sean Dyche if he had failed to make the most of his goalscoring opportunity against Newcastle United.
The 25-year-old netted from the back post after latching on to Johan Gudmundsson's cross in what was the one and only goal of the game at Turf Moor on Monday night.
"Watching the clips on Newcastle they've been tight and hard to break down," the Republic of Ireland international told Sky Sports News. "We kept working hard and got the goal in the end. I was just hoping the lad missed the ball and I had an open net then - if I had missed that I think I'd have gone off.
"Sean Dyche has us working hard every week and the bare minimum is to give your lot. We've scored some great goals this year and we need to continue that."
Burnley are now seventh in the Premier League table.
