Speaking after the 2-0 win over Sean Dyche's Burnley, Roy Hodgson was delighted that his side's recent performances were finally rewarded with a deserved three points.
Reflecting in his post-match press conference, Hodgson said: "It was an impressive and important victory after the run of games we’ve had. I don’t think we’ve been in bad form or played poorly in recent games, so it was important for me to keep the players believing that you don’t necessarily equate form with results.
"There are teams in this league, probably certainly, not just on paper but on the field of play that do have a better chance of beating you with their resources and the quality of their players.
