Burnley scored three goals in 12 second-half minutes to earn 3-0 victory over Southampton at Turf Moor.

The Clarets, who struggled to recover from a poor start to the last campaign, did not have a shot on target until Ashley Barnes netted the opener in the 63rd minute.

He then scored again with their second seven minutes later, with new signing Erik Pieters the creator on both occasions, and Johann Berg Gudmundsson grabbed the third in the 75th minute.

Burnley manager Sean Dyche praised an 'older and wiser' Barnes after he began the season with two goals in a convincing win against Southampton.

Dyche said: "He doesn't go under the radar here, with what we think of him, what the players think of him, what the fans think of him. Knowing Barnsey, I don't think he'd be that bothered. He's not bothered about much.

"You learn the game the older you get, the wiser you get. He's become not as affected so easily.

"He hadn't scored in pre-season but you saw by his performance he didn't look like a striker that hadn't scored, he wasn't snatching at things. His finish is excellent and I think that kind of mental resilience grows year on year the more you play at the highest level."
