Sean Dyche says Burnley created enough chances to beat Hull
Saturday 25 February 2017 19:12, UK
Burnley boss Sean Dyche believes his team are showing real signs of improvement on the road and were unlucky to take just a point from their trip to Hull City.
Michael Keane's late goal cancelled out a Tom Huddlestone penalty as the Clarets snatched a 1-1 draw at the KCOM Stadium on Saturday.
Burnley are still to win away from home in the league this season but Dyche was happy with his side's performance against the Tigers.
"It was a deserved point, definitely," he said. "[We had] some good moments, particularly in the attacking phase. We weren't clinical enough to be fair. The detail in the moments that we created.
"Lots of good positives from our performance today against a side - it's been well documented lately - they're on a good run, change of manager has given a little boost to the team and I thought we dampened their performance down and kept them to minimal chances.
"We created enough today to at least get a point, if not a win."
Huddlestone put the hosts ahead from the penalty spot midway through the second half after Keane handled inside the area.
Dyche believes his central defender was unlucky to be penalised for the offence but accepted the decision was hard to call for referee Martin Atkinson.
"It's a tough one," Dyche said. "From where I am, I must make it clear - a long way away from there, it looked like a melee of a lot of arms and a tough one to pick out.
"When I saw it on the monitor I thought Keane was really unlucky because he goes up to head the ball and (Harry) Maguire, I don't think he's done it deliberately, pushes his arm on to the ball. Tough one for the ref, tough one for us."
Burnley face Swansea, Liverpool and Sunderland on their travels in the next few weeks and Dyche has seen enough to suggest his team will pick up their first away win of the season sooner rather than later.
"It's tough going on the road - I've said it many, many times," he said. "But the last five performances have been building, they've been better, there's been a more secure feel about the group. Certainly a desire to go and change what's going on in front of us."
