Burnley boss Owen Coyle was delighted to see his side continue their superb form on home soil with a 2-1 victory over Birmingham City.

The Clarets have now won four out of four at Turf Moor in the Premier League this season, with their latest success gained thanks to goals from Steven Fletcher and Andre Bikey.

Coyle said: "Having won the three games at home and then coming off the back of the heavy defeat at Tottenham last week and not having an enjoyable week, a lot of people will have perceived us to win this game.

"Sometimes they are the games you trip up on but we didn't. We stuck to our guns.

"Birmingham are one of the teams who are going to be in our group. We are not getting carried away, we know exactly where we are and where we expect to be.

"That is why, for me, it was the biggest result of the season.

"If we can pick up points from the teams round about us, that will serve us well for the duration.

"The result against Manchester United was fantastic, but I really believed we had to answer up after last week to retain our 100 per cent record.

"Hopefully it sends out a message to people that Turf Moor is not an easy place to come."
