BURNLEY boss Sean Dyche admits his side’s 2-0 defeat against Norwich feels like “a big step back”.

Pierre Lees-Melou opened the scoring before Teemu Pukki wrapped up the result inside the final five minutes.

Dyche was frustrated his team were not able to build on Wednesday’s 3-2 win against relegation rivals Everton.

The Clarets are now four points from safety following the Toffees’ 1-0 victory against Manchester United.

“The feeling is that it was a big step forward in the week and a big step back today,” Dyche said.

“After a really strong second half against Everton and win, we came down here and could not build on that.

“We couldn’t find clarity in the final third, which has been the story of our season.”

The key moment arrived in the 65th minute when substitute Dwight McNeil picked out Cornet at the back post, but Burnley’s leading marksman sliced wide from close range.

Dyche added: “Obviously Maxwel’s chance is a golden one and they have got to go in.

"We had a golden chance to change the whole feel of the game and didn’t take it.”

The Clarets are back in action on Sunday, April 17 when they head to the London Stadium to take on West Ham (KO 2:15pm).
