Burnley boss Sean Dyche admitted mixed emotions after their 2-2 draw at Leicester City.

Once again Dyche was left reflecting on his team not quite being able to extract a win from a good performance.

“We've got to tidy up the details but we've been saying that all season. But it's the truth. We're performing pretty well," Dyche said after a pulsating game at the King Power Stadium.

“We might just need to have a twist of fate on our side with regard to the defending side, because I think defensively, generally, there's actually been some strong performers.

“In attack we're creating chances, so we've got to make sure that balance is right and turn these decent performances into wins.

“There's no naivety in my world of football and neither in my players' view – they know we've got to turn these situations into winning performances, not just good performances."

In a thrilling contest, it looked like the Clarets had still managed to get the three points when Wood had the ball in the net, before a VAR check ruled out it for offside.

Dyche didn't have an issue with that decision, but thought his side were unlucky not to receive a free-kick in the build-up to Leicester's second goal.

“I haven't see the goal but if he's (Chris Wood) off, he's off," added Dyche. “I'm a fan of VAR so therefore if it's an offside, it's an offside.

“I was more worried about the second goal, in the build-up. It's a clear foul on Johann Gudmundsson.

“The linesman saw it seven yards away, so I don't know how it isn't given. We can defend better after that, but the fact is, it's a foul and if we get that, the whole feeling of that moment changes."
