Burnley boss Brian Laws says they need to curb their attacking instincts if they want to record their first ever Premier League away win.

The Clarets were again on the receiving end at Aston Villa on the weekend.

Laws said: "We are in a division which punishes you for mistakes.

"I thought we could get something out of this game but that mad 12-minute spell, when we conceded four goals in the second half, ruined all that good work.

"Teams have stayed in the division on their home form alone. There are a few who find it hard to win away from home. It's not new. Everyone recognises Burnley as very 'gung-ho' - but we have to calm it down.

"If it was a bit of great skill by Villa, you could take it on the chin.

"We don't want to give up the Premier League and we'll fight to stay in the Premier League."
