Sean Dyche feels the Premier League is living up to the hype in the post-lockdown period.
The Clarets boss has been impressed with the quality on show in the strange vacuum of behind-closed doors games.
And Dyche paid tribute to his own players, thanking them personally following the win at Crystal Palace on Monday for maintaining their focus in the wake of all the challenges they face.
“We have come out of the lockdown with a lot of challenges, on and off the pitch, and we are still delivering,” insisted the Burnley boss.
“I literally thanked the players at (Crystal) Palace because it’s not easy with all this going on - and yet they remain focused to take on the games with a real focus.
