Sean Dyche credits depth of Burnley squad after victory over Southampton

Sean Dyche has praised the depth of his Burnley squad after securing a 1-0 victory over Southampton.

Burnley continued their fine run of form with a smash-and-grab victory at St Mary's to hand Dyche his second win this week.

The game's winning goal came from substitute Sam Vokes, while Ashley Barnes came on at the same time and made a positive impact on the match.

Dyche believes the level of quality coming off his bench is evident with the names he can select.

"When you try and plan a game out as you hope it will go then that is as close as we've been to making it work in our favour," he told Sky Sports after the match.

"Our shape was very good in the first half against a very good, technical side.

"You had to be diligent with all the details and defensive responsibilities. We looked to counter and we didn't do it as well today. The depth of the squad and belief was evident.

"The two lads coming on up front in Barnesy and Vokes changed the game. They were terrific in turning the game."

Dyche has been linked to the Everton job in recent weeks, but again played down any speculation linking him to the role.

He added: "It's strange that I'm mentioned in the media and it's all about me but I have no control over what the media wants to out there. I just keep getting on with my job as I have done today and so do the players.
