SEAN Dyche believes victory over Liverpool will do his side the ‘world of good’ as the Clarets secured Premier League lift-off in grand style.

Sam Vokes and Andre Gray scored their first goals in the to flight before the defence took over as Burnley produced a masterclass in how to play without the ball.

Jurgen Klopp’s side had been feted after their thrilling victory over Arsenal last week, but the Clarets brought them crashing back down to earth with a ruthless display in front of goal.

Having had to wait until November for a first victory two years ago, Burnley are now up and running after the second week, and Dyche was delighted to get the points on the board.

"It’s clear everyone's minds - we're here for a reason, we came out the Championship in fine form,” he said.

“We know there's work to do, we're still in the market, we're still improving, and this will do the lads a world of good.

“It's great for the fans as well. They want big names here, and Premier League football, but they stand by us, they know it won't be easy, we can't throw money everywhere and they've played a terrific part in the journey so far.”

Burnley had less than 20 per cent possession against Liverpool, but when they did have the ball they attacked with purpose, while for all of the Reds territorial domination they struggled to create clear chances.

"We felt they'd come and keep the ball because they pack the midfield, and at times even the striker drops in there, so we knew the midfield would have to work hard and produce a good performance with the two banks of four,” said Dyche.

"We felt we could counter and press from the keeper, and both goals came from the keeper and a counter.

"We spoke to the players about the realities of the division - they're a fine side, make no mistake, they have players who keep the ball, their pressing...

"To come off their result last week and come here and us win 2-0 is certainly a coupon buster, but I think the organisation and belief of the players was fantastic and I'm pleased with them.”

Vokes’ lashed home Burnley’s opener inside two minutes for his first Premier League goal in his 28th game, before Gray made it second time lucky as he opened his account in the top flight with a smart finish.

"The first goal was excellent, good link up play between the two strikers - everyone know I prefer to play with two strikers - and it was a good press,” said Dyche.

“Andre worked fantastically well on the return pass, to get turned and slide it to Vokesy, but it's a hell of a finish, marvellous to get turned so quickly and hit it.

"We know the feet the big man has got and we're really pleased with that - and to get both strikers on the scoresheet is just marvellous.

"Andre as a newcomer, the quicker you can get a goal, the better.”

Gray’s goal was set-up by club-record signing Steven Defour, who lasted 56 minutes on his debut.

Dyche added: "I said to Steven at half-time 'welcome to the Premier League'.

“I think that was a slightly quicker tempo than what he's used to, but we know he'll mature with us and get used to the league, and a nice bit of calmness with the slide pass to set Andre off.”
