Burnley manager Sean Dyche dedicated the 2-1 over Everton to his late brother-in-law Mark Horbatowski who died this week.
Sean Dyche said: “My wife had to bury her brother, only 46 on Wednesday, and it was a tough day. If ever I was going to dedicate a game it would be for him. I played a song before the game and it was a personal moment for me and my family. A few of his mates told me about it the other day, Tall and Handsome, a 90s Ibiza classic. I didn’t tell the lads before and they were looking at me a bit funny. I told them afterwards. I don’t normally do that sort of thing but my wife’s family have had a tough time and these small things in a tough week I thought it was worth mentioning.”
Dyche was delighted with the performance which saw them out-play and out-fight Everton in the first half especially. They were so impressive television commentator and former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher said it was like watching Brazil.
Sean Dyche added: “I think we have a long way to go to be playing like Brazil. I was really pleased. The defensive shape was good against tricky opposition who changed their shape. I thought we handled that well and then every time we pressed them properly and nicked the ball I thought we looked a threat. I thought virtually every time we went forward we could score. We scored two fine goals, Woody with a fine finish and Dwight an exceptional finish. For me (Dwight is) an exceptional talent.”
