Burnley striker Matej Vydra was delighted to prove the matchwinner in victory over Southampton.

Vydra ended his goal drought in a south-coast storm to give Burnley a magnificent 2-1 win at Southampton.

“I heard it was 17 months since my last goal. I didn't believe when I scored," admitted Vydra, whose patience paid off in stunning style.

“It was like 'wow, I've scored finally' and I'm happy for that and for all my team-mates.

“I was waiting for a chance. Today it came and I tried to do my best and help my team-mates.

“You need to be ready for every game, even if you're not in the team from the first minute.

“That showed today and we got three points and I helped. That's all about football. You never know what can happen.

“The most important thing is three points. Four games, three wins one draw. We are going up in the table, so everyone is happy right now."
