Sean Dyche urges Burnley focus after Crystal Palace win

Burnley manager Sean Dyche is pleased with his side's form, but urges his side to keep their focus after climbing into the top half of the Premier League table.

Burnley manager Sean Dyche has played down his side's start to the season despite climbing into the top half of the table with victory over Crystal Palace this afternoon.

The Clarets looked to have thrown away two points when they squandered a two-goal lead at Turf Moor, but Ashley Barnes came off the bench to score a dramatic 94th-minute winner for the hosts.

Dyche stressed that any win in the Premier League is something to celebrate, but urged his side to keep looking ahead and focus on maintaining their form.

"Every single win is to be enjoyed but not thought about too deeply as if some kind of magic has happened. It feels like we've given ourselves a good base. We know we have to continue to learn and improve. It was enjoyable for all of us but the whistle will blow again before we know it and we will have to get back to business," he told reporters.

"Points against anyone in the Premier League are fantastic. To get those points on the board we have to build on the mentality of the group coming out of the Championship and add to it, and I'm very pleased with how we've done that so far. Ashley has had this niggly injury which kept him out but we know he is a strong character to come through that and it [today] was the icing on the cake.

"To come back into the squad for a few minutes last week then to score the winner today with a fantastic finish - the ball in was sublime and the finish is absolutely immaculate. Our mentality was superb but to go 2-2 from a counter-attack I thought 'which way is this going' and sometimes you've got to got with what you were thinking. [Andre] Gray was the obvious choice but I thought it was right for Barnesy - I thought he could fill the two slots up front and he did both and he scored the winner."

Only Chelsea have amassed more points at home than Burnley this season.
