“It was a treacherous match, but we had a good start in it. We played with energy and commitment. We took advantage of situations that were important,” Dyche said on the club’s website. “I talked to the midfielders about scoring goals. Jay (Rodriguez) then did a great job and Vyds (Vydra) came on the field, he was valid and he assisted with the winning goal,” Dyche added.
The 29-year-old Otter has not played a competitive match for over two months. At the end of January, he underwent inguinal hernia surgery, and on his return to training in March, he dislocated his elbow again. Because of this, he also lost his qualifying for the World Cup.

The native from Chotěboř started against Everton in the 80th minute with a score of 2: 2 as a substitute for Wout Weghorst. Five minutes later, he found Maxwell Cornet in the penalty area with a return pass and he decided.
“It’s been a while since I last hit, so it was something special for me. The celebrations were incredible. It’s a big victory for us,” Cornet said, praising Vydra for a quick pass. “He worked on himself in training every day so that he could return as soon as possible and he could help us. Now he has confirmed it again. I am happy for him and the rest of the team,” added the Ivory Coast striker.
Burnley has interrupted a series of four defeats in the league and has 24 points. Everton has only one point more in the last non-descending place. In the next match, Burnley will fight on the pitch of the last Norwich. “It will be another big match. Every match for the rest of the season is important for us now. We don’t want to regret anything at the end, so now we have to go to all the duels to the maximum,” Cornet added.
