Clarets' Fightback Dyche's Finest Hour
Sean Dyche has described last season’s rescue mission as his biggest achievement as Burnley boss as the Clarets prepare to go full circle against Everton.
Dyche’s side faces the Toffees on Boxing Day for the second year running – this time away from home.
Twelve months ago the Clarets suffered a 5-1 Turf Moor beating at the hands of the Merseysiders and looked in real relegation danger at the half-way stage of the season.
But bouncing back with a win against West Ham in their following game proved the catalyst for a revival that propelled Burnley out of the bottom three to safety by the end of April and ultimately to a 15th-place finish in the Premier League.
