Burnley boss Sean Dyche is delighted with Jay Rodriguez's goalscoring form.

Rodriguez has a goal and two assists in his last two matches, with his header in the 3-0 win at Crystal Palace last weekend his first goal in the top flight since scoring the equaliser in a draw against Liverpool at Anfield at the end of last season – 22 games ago.

His next goal will be his 100th in league football and Rodriguez could reach the landmark against his former club West Brom on Saturday.

“He has been a bit up and down with injuries," said Dyche. “He has had a few injuries which have upset his true run in the side in terms of playing every week.

“But he is a very good player and a well-rounded centre-forward. He offers more to us than just goals, which is the same as all of our centre-forwards.

“We ask a lot of them all and we ask a lot of them in team play. There comes a time when you are looking for your centre-forwards to use their game knowledge, which Jay certainly does.

“He gets in the right areas and will score goals, that is for sure."
