Dier delighted with 'scruffy goal' in key win at Burnley
The England international provided a touch of class to plant home the crucial opening goal after 66 minutes of our 2-0 win at Turf Moor - his first of the season.
Christian Eriksen's corner missed everyone at a crowded near post, Burnley's Jeff Hendrick hit his clearance straight to Eric who controlled and picked his spot from 10 yards.
Heung-Min Son added the second goal 10 minutes later to secure three valuable points in what is one of the toughest away tests in the Premier League.
"I’m really happy to have scored," said Eric. "I was getting more and more worried that I wasn’t going to get a goal this season so to score a scruffy one is great to get up and running for the season!"
