Dyche blames 'four minutes of madness'

Sean Dyche believes a few "minutes of madness" were to blame for Burnley's defeat to Leicester City.

Burnley manager Sean Dyche has claimed "four minutes of madness" cost his side as they slumped to a 3-0 defeat away to Premier League champions Leicester City.

Two goals on his league debut for Islam Slimani did the damage for Claudio Ranieri's side at the King Power Stadium on Saturday, before Ben Mee's late own-goal capped off the victory.

And Dyche - who was quick to defend Mee, claiming the defender did not deserve to be on the losing side - believes the defeat can be pinned squarely on slack defending either side of half-time.
