George Boyd: 'Burnley deserved Manchester City win'

Burnley goalscorer George Boyd believes that the team deserved their win over Manchester City at Turf Moor.

George Boyd has insisted that Burnley were deserving of their narrow win over Manchester City at Turf Moor in the Premier League yesterday evening.

The Scottish international scored the only goal in the Clarets' 1-0 win over the defending champions, which left them just one point from safety.

The winger told the club's website: "What a feeling! To take four points off the champions this season is a massive effort. It's a huge win and just a massive three points.

"It doesn't surprise us in the dressing room though. We fully deserved the point when we went there and I'd say we deserved the win today. We haven't feared anyone all season and we've got a massive belief that starts from the gaffer and the staff.

"We go into every game thinking we're going to win and as it proved today we can beat anyone on our day. We just play our own game and this is why we worked so hard to get here and enjoy these occasions and we'll now go to Southampton full of confidence."

The win was just the fifth of the season for Sean Dyche's side.
