“I cannot have a bad feeling with these guys. I’m here to help them.
“So if I can help them to be better then that’s what I want.”
Burnley boss Sean Dyche was left to lament a frustrating afternoon, especially in his side’s slapstick defending in the lead-up to Son’s goal.
“I’m actually annoyed at source, that’s where we didn’t deal with it,” said Dyche.
“And then there’s also time for a technical foul, which we didn’t do.
“It’s very naive and just the detail of the work we do, just not to stop it at source and then not to go for a technical foul.
“We gave the ball away for fun today; five goals from five giveaways, key giveaways, sloppiness, details.
“We don’t normally turn it over that easily. In balance we had two key chances at one-nil and two-nil down.”
