Sean Dyche says Burnley did enough to beat Hull on Saturday, after Robert Snodgrass rescued a late point for the visitors at Turf Moor.
Steven Defour scored an outstanding solo goal to give the home side the lead after 72 minutes and they appeared to be heading for all three points before Snodgrass struck from a free-kick in the fifth minute of time added on.
Hull hit the woodwork twice, with Adama Diomande also missing a great chance for the visitors, but Dyche shrugged off the late goal and said he thought his side deserved to pick up their second win of the Premier League campaign.
"It's the way it goes, it is the reality of football. You have to see the game off until the last minute and we pretty much did, to be fair," he said.
"I think Ben Mee has gone to block it and he's just slipped as he's gone to make the block and caught the lad and they've put in a good free-kick.
"But other than that I'm very pleased with the performance. After the first 15 minutes we looked a bit nervous, a bit tentative but we built into the game and gave a very good all-round performance, I felt.
"It was a game of few chances and a game of two cagey sides. They have been playing like that, we know that, dropping in and trying to counter at times and we have been trying to press teams and play on the front foot, play with two up front and we did that quite well at times.
"We didn't open up as many times but it is difficult when they have lots of men behind the ball so, a close affair, but I think we did enough to edge it overall."
Defour scored his first goal for Burnley following his move from Anderlecht in the summer and spent last week away on international duty with Belgium.
And Dyche said his goal was an indication that he is adapting to life in the Premier League.
"He's getting used to it, the fitness levels are different," he said.
"You can see today he responded to the work we've done and then he had to go away but hopefully got some work in with the national side and he has come back in and he'll get more used to how we play and what the division is about, the difference in Premier League football."
