SEAN Dyche was delighted with the second half transformation of his side as the Clarets secured back-to-back Premier League wins with a 3-0 success at West Ham.

After a poor first half Burnley took control after the break, with Ashley Barnes firing them ahead. That strike turned the atmosphere inside the London Stadium toxic, with several Hammers fans invading the pitch to confront their players, while hundreds more surrounded the directors' box to protest at the ownership.

But Burnley kept their heads and killed off the game, with Chris Wood adding a second almost immediately before the Kiwi striker completed the scoring late on.

“Really pleasing," Dyche said of the win, which keeps the Clarets seventh.

"The first half was below par, and they were good, we probably were diligent with the ugly side of the game, the shape and hard work saw us hang in there, because they had a couple of great chances.

“But then second half I was so, so pleased with the mentality of the players, we spoke about it at half-time, and we felt the delivery would be important, and they certainly delivered.

“The quality of the football was very pleasing second half, we just couldn’t find it first half.

“You get to 40 points last week and that’s a big marker in what we’re looking to achieve as a club, and you then get that weirdness, which way does that spin?

“First half it looked like ‘ok, that’s done, let’s just get through today’, and second half it looked like a stimulating performance where everyone said ‘look, let’s really take the game on’.

“That can happen, but I was very pleased overall to go on and get the win.”

After an even contest for an hour the Clarets ran away with it when the atmosphere turned. West Ham captain Mark Noble was forced to confront fans who ran on the pitch, with referee Lee Mason coming over to the touchline to speak to the managers and the fourth official on a couple of occasions.

“When people come on the pitch, I can’t imagine they’re trying to be dangerous towards the players, they’ve got their own agenda, if they’re unhappy with the club and whatever’s going on.

“But I don’t think the players felt unsafe.

“It’s a tough situation for a player, no one wants to see fans on the pitch. I don’t think there’s any malice in players getting hold of them, they’re just saying ‘come on, get off the pitch’, a few of the players were trying to guide fans off the pitch.

“Whatever is going on, let’s at least get on with the game.

“Hopefully there’ll be better times ahead for West Ham.

“The referee came over and there was some common sense. They were trying to slow the game down and I understood. There was a little delay to let it all calm down.

“The officials did the best they could, it’s not an ideal situation for them as well.”
