Beginning to control the game and dominate the ball. But he was delighted with the second 45 and the three points In the second half we looked ourselves, we pressed better meaning we recovered the ball in more dangerous areas and we looked after the ball better and didn't just give it away. Burnley couldn't get going and were fortunate to be level at the interval and survived a scare early in the second when Viktor Gyokeres latched onto a short Jordan Beyer pass but was crowded out. It wasn't a vintage performance from Vincent Kompany's side, far from it, but they finished the contest strongly and found a way to claim yet another three points. But Burnley hadn't lost or failed to score on home turf this term and found the breakthrough when Beyer scored eight minutes from time.

Raced onto a poor back-pass and rounded the keeper before being dispossessed at the last second at the start of the second half. Tried to be too intricate and over play it at times and too static for the goal. Forced the keeper to save from the apex of the box just before the break. Stood up to intense pressure in the second half as Burnley finally began to dominate and create chances. Had three and sometimes four Burnley players around him trying to stop him at times. Got forward to support attacks well and sent in a lovely delivery for Allen who headed wide. Tired and less effective going forward in the second half when Burnley enjoyed long spells of pressure. Made a crucial interception to deny Barnes midway through the second half as Burnley started piling on the pressure. Provided plenty of quality in the middle of the park, picking the right passes and trying his luck with a speculative 30-yard shot that went over the bar around the half hour mark. Continued to defend well after the break amid mounting pressure but lost his man for the set-piece goal. Minutes later in the ninth, Gyokeres supplied Allen for a second time but the midfielder sent his shot inches wide of the keeper’s left-hand post. Well beaten by a glancing header for the goal.

Jordan Beyer's first goal for Burnley gave the Championship leaders a 1-0 victory over Coventry which extended their winning league run to seven matches.

The first was mishit straight at a defender and the second dragged wide. That sparked Burnley into life and when Gudmundsson was freed by Maatsen’s astute pass, his cross flashed across the face of goal to the normally deadly left foot of Manuel Benson but he could not keep his shot down. Gyokeres and Ben Sheaf combined near halfway to fashion the best chance of the first half, sending Kasey Palmer racing through the heart of the Clarets defence but his shot was blocked by Ian Maatsen’s desperate lunge.

A stretch of just one win from six in the league has culminated in Mark Robins’ side falling off the pace of the promotion playoff battle, to slip firmly back into the bottom half of the table.

"There are no complaints on any of the other guys who started because they've been unbelievable for us this season, but sometimes other players have got to take over. It gave us more control of the game.” He teed up Manuel Benson, who was off-target when Jay Rodriguez had allowed the substitute’s cross to run, and then he swung in the cross, having peeled off to the left hand side for a second time, that resulted in Tella’s header being repelled by Ben Wilson. "I think that helped change the game a bit. And I could have put another two or three on the pitch that I thought could help us. Their 'graft' when out of possession is proving just as valuable as their 'craft' on the ball. "In the end he's just developed into a very complete centre back; he wins his headers, he's managing his distances well, his reading and understanding of the game has improved a lot.
