Burnley manager Sean Dyche was full of praise for his players because of how they have adapted to his new system.

Dyce has moved away from his usual 4-4-2 in favor of a three-man strike force.

It is a narrower formation but one that helped them get a draw against Aston Villa after being 1-0 down.

He spoke about the tactics tweak with reporters.

"It calmed the game down," said Dyche.

"I don't want to be too big time about it because the players deliver it.

"We haven't done loads on it because I have let it naturally unfold but we did it in pre-season and we did it at Brighton.

"We know Jay can play off one side and we know that Barnesy can do it, he played a lot of football coming off the left for Brighton.

"We know it is there and we can use it when we need it. We know Dwight can come inside and Jeff certainly can. Westy or Corky can play in the deeper role.

"We started playing, probing and calming the game down with the ball while still trying to affect things. The players deserve credit."
