BURNLEY boss Sean Dyche insists his side deserved something from their 1-0 defeat against Liverpool at Turf Moor.

Fabinho scored the decisive goal, slotting home from close range after the Clarets had failed to deal with Trent Alexander-Arnold’s corner.

Wout Weghorst and Jay Rodriguez both missed good chances at the other end as Dyche’s men failed to end their winless run.

“From our point of view, it’s a good performance against a good Liverpool side,” said the Burnley chief.

“I thought that we took the game to them and in the first half, we created some amazing chances against the quality of this opposition with some very good play.

“Building on the last three games, we’ve had a real firm mentality towards it and working in front of the right crowd - they get behind us. And it’s head-scratching today because I thought we deserved more than we got from the game.

“That’s the challenge of the season and it’s the story of our season. We’ve had some really good chances in the first half particularly and not taken them.

“Wout has done great for us, he looks like he will turn into a really good player for us, and Jay has a golden chance as well.”

The result leaves the Clarets seven points from safety, though they still have at least two games in hand over the sides around them.

Dyche’s men are back in action on Saturday, February 19 when they take on Brighton at the Amex Stadium (KO 3pm).
