BURNLEY may have caused an opening day shock with their 3-2 win at champions Chelsea, but boss Sean Dyche still sees room for improvement in his side.

The Clarets raced into a 3-0 lead at the break at Stamford Bridge, taking advantage of Gary Cahill's red card and keeping hold of the ball to put pressure on the hosts.

But Dyche believes they can still improve in terms of keeping possession, having been disappointed with the way they gave the ball up in the second half.

Burnley ended the game with 37.6 per cent possession and last season only West Brom averaged less than their 42.7 per cent possession per game.

"We've got to learn to keep possession better, we’re still flippant with it," Dyche said after the win at Chelsea.

"Some of that is the talent base, and increasing the talent base from within, some is the assuredness that comes with these top players. Mine are still growing and improving with that.

“First half better, second half not as well, but they're a good side - their physicality, they're a strong side, they press high, fast, and it can put you off kilter.

“If you don't break that pressing line, it can be difficult.”
