MATCH of the Day pundit Danny Murphy said Sean Dyche deserves credit for the tactical switch that helped Burnley secure a point against Manchester City on Saturday.

Murphy highlighted Dyche's decision to swap Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Aaron Lennon around at half-time, with Gudmundsson moving to the left and Lennon to the right, and he believes it made the Clarets look a more balanced side in the second period.

"First half City were sensational and Burnley weren't in the game. What Sean Dyche did was to switch Gudmundsson and Aaron Lennon and in the second half Lennon looked like a different player, the player we've seen in years gone by on the right hand side," Murphy said on Saturday night's Match of the Day.

"They looked more balanced, they got the ball in better areas. It seemed like the Burnley players were happier in the roles they were given. City dropped off a little bit, but Lennon was getting forward and closing people down and Gudmundsson's quality with his left foot and putting crosses in.

"It was a clever bit of tactical nous from Sean Dyche and he deserves credit for it. With Gudmundsson coming in of the left hand side is how they got the equaliser.

"What Burnley did really well in the second half was to put super balls in the box, and when you put good balls in the box it doesn't matter how good the defence is, you're going to get chances.

"That (from Gudmundsson) is a really good finish."

Alan Sheared also hailed Gudmundsson's 82nd minute strike as an 'excellent finish', but he was critical of City's wasteful finishing.

"They were wasteful, there's not many times this season we've been critical of them but they should have finished this game off," he said.

"Some of their play to get up there was brilliant but they so wasteful in the final third.

"Sterling is two or three yards, it's an absolute sitter and that was without doubt the game changer, I said it at the time, once he missed that you could just sense that Burnley will get a chance and they might just take it."
