Speaking at his post-match press conference, Roy Hodgson said he was left frustrated with the result and failure to finish off “four or give gilt-edged chances”.
He said: “All defeats are frustrating, especially with the way we went about our game in the second-half which was very much on the front foot, taking game to Burnley. We created lots of situations in and around their penalty area, but unfortunately, the last pass or shot wasn’t there, and when it was, we found the goalkeeper in excellent form.”
Hodgson was philiosophical about his defence's rare inability to clear its lines in presenting the opportunity to Chris Wood to score the game's only goal, as his back-line typically form such a reliable bed-rock for his side.
