Burnley boss Sean Dyche insists his side should have done enough to win on Saturday following their 1-1 draw with Hull City in the Premier League.

The Clarets, 1.80 to be relegated, were just minutes away from winning their second game of the season at Turf Moor.

They shocked Liverpool back in August but they failed to hang on against the Tigers despite a fine strike from Steven Defour.

The Belgian thought he had done enough to win the game for the Clarets but Robert Snodgrass scored an injury-time free-kick to give his side a share of the spoils.

Speaking after the match, Dyche admitted it was hard to take after claiming his side deserved the three points.

He told the Burnley Express: “I think it’s the reality of football, you know, some things go against you, some things go for you.

“Really tight game, as you’d expect, two teams that don’t want to give anything away, you know, overall it was very close, but I thought we’d just done enough and probably should have seen the game out.

“But, like I said, we defended the first phase of the corner well, I think Ben Mee just slips as he goes to block the shot or the expected shot, it allows them a free kick and it’s a good finish from the lad, but that happens, we’ve done it to many other teams down the years I’ve been here so we have to take this one today.”
