AS Danny Ings wheeled away to celebrate putting Burnley ahead at the Britannia Stadium, the camera zoomed in on a surprisingly calm Sean Dyche, writing deliberately in his notepad. ‘Get. In. There. My. Son,’ was perhaps the message.

For most of the afternoon, boos rung around the Britannia Stadium. They were music to Claret ears.

Boos about supposed fouls on Stoke players, boos about time wasting, boos for the cheek of going down and requesting treatment after being clouted in the head.

Above all, boos that little old Burnley had turned up and actually had the temerity to score two goals – and then insisted on trying to stop Stoke scoring too.

Whatever the Clarets did, the hosts objected to it – supporters, players, manager, you name it. Mark Hughes was a little more conciliatory post-match, but indignation was Stoke’s emotion of choice for pretty much the whole 90 minutes.

It was a sight to behold, and it is one Burnley must see many more times if they are to survive in the Premier League.

The Clarets were winning friends but not matches in the opening stages of this season.

Tipped for relegation, they were fulfilling their role of the plucky underdogs. They lost, or sometimes drew, but didn’t they do ever so well?

Dyche knew Burnley had to move beyond that. They were not in the Premier League to be patted on the head. They were here to win football matches.

Burnley were hanging on in there for dear life at times on Saturday. Stoke had 73 per cent possession, 25 shots to the Clarets’ five and 14 corners to the Clarets’ none.

It was tense viewing – particularly for Scott Arfield, who became an increasingly anxious observer from the press box after missing out on the game through injury.

But, after 105 seconds of brilliance early in the first half, as Ings scored twice to put Burnley 2-0 up, the Clarets’ heroic defensive efforts were doing enough to frustrate the life out of Stoke.

Not for the first time at the Britannia Stadium either.

No other club can match Burnley’s remarkable record at the stadium, not even Chelsea or Manchester United.

Played 10, won six, drawn two, lost two.

Not bad for one of the most infamous venues in the country.

This was Burnley’s first away win of the season, and only their second in Premier League history – after a triumph at Hull in April 2010.

The Clarets picked up only four points in their previous top flight campaign – losing 17 of their 19 games on their travels. This time they have collected five points already.

That may not have been to Stoke’s liking, but it was certainly to the liking of the travelling supporters.

Dyche would have needed to scribble down only two words in his notepad when the final whistle blew.

“Job. Done.”
