Burnley see off Saints
The three points for Dyche’s men moves them up to 10th and just two points off Wolves in seventh. They are also now 10 points clear of the relegation zone.
“All wins are big wins in the Premier League, but we are on a good run,” he added.
“It is a tough place to come, especially with their form lately and the weather.
“It probably won’t look it on the TV when it is shown later, but it was horrendous and for both teams I thought it was very difficult.”
Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl had more bad news to report at full-time with Nathan Redmond set for a spell on the sidelines with a hamstring injury sustained in training on Thursday.
Sofiane Boufal could join him on the treatment table too, after he was forced off with an ankle issue.
“We can only get clear diagnosis when the blood is gone, but minimum one month and maximum maybe two,” Hasenhuttl said on Redmond.
“Hopefully not too bad for Boufal. I don’t know at the moment with his ankle.
“We have two number 10s left and the two 10s they have now the chance to play and must show up.
“We must find a way back to the way we played before this game,” he added.
