Dyche's stock rises with well-earned points at Selhurst

at Selhurst Park

Palace, fresh from their drubbing at the hands of newly crowned champions Liverpool, had the opportunity to consolidate their top-10 status and open up a gap between themselves and the Clarets, having started the day level on points.

But from the off it was Burnley who were brighter, with Dwight McNeil and Josh Brownhill the standout performers in the first half.
