Sean Dyche has stressed the importance of Burnley following up their dramatic victory over Everton by showing they can “deliver” again at Norwich this weekend.

Maxwel Cornet’s 85th-minute goal completed a 3-2 come-from-behind win for the Clarets against relegation rivals Everton at Turf Moor on Wednesday.

“We have got a pretty rounded group here, so they understand it, and these are helpful things, but they don’t guarantee anything – you have to go out and deliver.”

Dyche added: “These are tough games, the ‘hard yards’ as (England rugby union boss) Eddie Jones terms it when I speak to him.

“It was a tight one the other night,
