Pope: Electric Atmosphere Lights Up Turf Moor

Nick Pope revelled in the ‘electric atmosphere’ created at Turf Moor as he helped the Clarets come from behind to earn a huge win.

Pope saved a penalty from former England team-mate Jamie Vardy before Ashley Westwood’s first goal of the season gave Burnley a 2-1 victory over high-flying Leicester City.

Top scorer Chris Wood had earlier equalised with his ninth Premier League goal of the season as Sean Dyche’s men came from behind to end their four-game losing run in courageous style.

And Pope praised the collective effort which produced just a third league win since November to lift the Clarets up to 14th place in the table - five points clear of the drop-zone.
