Burnley manager Brian Laws was happy with how his side performed despite their failure to move out of the Premier League’s bottom three when they drew 1-1 with Stoke City on Wednesday.
David Nugent scored to cancel out Tuncay Sanli’s opener as Burnley moved above Hull City and up to third from bottom of the league. And Laws was happy with the performace and says his players must emulate it for the rest of the season if they are to keep their place in the top flight.
"It was a terrific game, particularly in the second half the tempo of the game was electric and that is the type of performance we have to put in," Laws told Sky Sports .
"I thought the players were magnificent, in particular after the slow start and Stoke getting the goal from the notorious long throw, but we responded well.
"There was a bit of head-tennis in the first half and we got dragged in. But in the second half I thought we dominated and started to play the football we are capable of. We had chances to put the ball into the net and it was a great response.
"The players didn't let the goal (from Stoke) affect them and they stepped up another gear and took the game right to Stoke.
"Of course you want your strikers to be on form and he (Nugent) did well and we are going to take a lot into our next game (a massive tie at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers who are level on points with Burnley and Hull, but ahead of them on goal difference), particularity the drive and commitment."
