Sean Dyche said “it was a day we can all be proud of” after his Burnley team beat Liverpool 2-0 at Turf Moor on Saturday.
Goals from Sam Vokes and Andre Gray secured the Clarets’ first victory since returning to the Premier League this season.
“It was a big game and you always want to get that first, important win on the table,” Burnley manager Dyche told burnleyfootballcub.com.
Burnley secured the victory despite Liverpool having over 80% possession at Turf Moor, but Dyche praised the quality of the goals and his side’s tactical discipline.
“They are fabulous goals and there will be a lot made of the fact we only had 20% possession, but those two goals were enough surely to win any game!”
The defeat for the visitors followed an impressive 4-3 victory at Arsenal on the opening weekend, and Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp told liverpoolfc.com: “[Possession] is what we did well, but in the end you have to use it.
“In England you use the word ‘clinical’ – in a lot of situations I saw we were clinical but even then we didn’t score. That’s how it is and we have to accept it.”
