SEAN Dyche has been searching for a winning formula so far this season and he told the XI he selected against Bournemouth to make themselves undroppable.

The Burnley boss was pleased to see a few act on that instruction as the Clarets romped to their biggest ever Premier League win, moving off the foot of the table with a 4-0 victory against the Cherries.

Dyche made three changes for the Turf Moor clash with Eddie Howe's side, bringing in Matt Lowton, Ashley Westwood and Matej Vydra for Phil Bardsley, Jeff Hendrick and Ashley Barnes.

"I said to them ‘lay a marker down, make it so I can’t leave you out’. There was a few who certainly did that," Dyche said.

Stephen Ward found himself out the matchday 18 as Dyche opted for more attacking options on the bench, while he admitted it was 'amazing' Jeff Hendrick had missed out given his early season form.

"Stephen Ward is out of the side for no other reason that we need those bits extra on the bench," the Clarets chief said.

"It’s amazing Jeff Hendrick even misses out, but the team I felt needed what it needed, but I’ve felt Jeff has been one of the better players out of our group."

But those that came in responded, including Vydra who netted his first Premier League goal for the club on his first start.

"Really pleasing, he nicked one the other week and he nicks one again. He was on the spot and nice and alive to it," Dyche said.

"He’ll get fitter, he’ll get more used to what we do. Vokesy was good again, the two subs Woody and Barnesy were very effective and that’s an important factor in our time at Burnley."
