Burnley goal scorer Ashley Barnes who scored the foul penalty said this to sky sportsΒ Sky Sports:
“What a shift from the lads, great team performance and luckily enough we have come away with three points – we believe going into every game, we stayed resilient and in our shape and it paid off.
“We knew if we kept believing we would get something. We knew we were growing into the game, we knew they would come out with momentum and try to play fast, but managed to stick to our jobs.
“I knew there was one thing, to hit the back of the net and I done that. It’s a great achievement from the team that were out there today.”
