BURNLEY boss Sean Dyche has found himself answering repeated questions about why his side are so bad away from home when they dominate opponents so much at Turf Moor.

Once again he felt his side were unlucky as they took the lead against Liverpool, only to be beaten 2-1 in yesterday's Premier League clash.

Georginio Wijnaldum and Emre Can found the net to negate Ashley Barnes scoring the Clarets' first goal at Anfield since 1975.

It extended Burnley's woeful away record to 12 defeats and two draws on the road but helped Liverpool overcome their troubles against bottom-half sides, against whom all their five league losses have come this season.

Dyche said: "It is a broken record. I thought we deserved something.

"We were resolute in our defending, had good organisation, a good tactical plan, scored a sublime first goal, had two or three other chances and ruffled their feathers. We deliberately made it awkward for them.

"Today is a nearly – but we have had too many nearlys on the road. We need to make it happen but if we play like that, we will make it happen.

"I don't search for luck, you have to make your own, but it is nice every now and again if you get a sliver. We haven't had a big decision go for us on the road."

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp praised his side for "winning ugly".

He said: "It is the first ugly game we won. We all have to get used to it a little bit. Usually when we are not at our best, we have lost.

"You cannot plan an ugly game. It was not our best game; not too much football.

"In this kind of play, Burnley may be the best team because they are used to everything, they fight for the first ball, have a really good formation for the second ball, run in behind for the third ball.

"If you don't score early against them, you need to fight.

"If we want to stay where we are, then we need to win football games and we can't make the choice and say 'yes or no, we want to play this way'.

"We usually win good games but the bad games and the average games we need to be challenging too. We were today."
