Scott Parker spoke of his pride as Burnley moved to the top of the Sky Bet Championship with a 2-1 win at Coventry.
Haji Wright controversially opened the scoring after five minutes before Jaidon Anthony scored either side of half-time to make it 27 league games unbeaten for the Clarets.
“Immensely proud, a tough place to come, we knew that coming into the game,” said Burnley boss Parker. “A team right in form. The stadium was bouncing as well, pretty alive for large parts of the game.
“We go a goal down early on, albeit a clear offside goal which was disappointing. Reacted superbly well, get ourselves back in the game, well-worked goal and then showed our quality in the first half.
“I thought it was a very good first half, we come out of half-time, chased a bit of a lost cause, which epitomises what this team is about.
“We were only sitting here last week with a 1-0 swing in this game, these games always turn out to be like that and at that point, any coach sitting here saying that it’s tactical, or it’s technical, you just need to roll sleeves up and you need to go to places and dig.
“For the majority of this year this team and these players have got that really, and that makes me very proud of them.
“We need to try and win as many games as we can and I thought the overall game today had a bit of everything. When we had to show our quality at times, we showed our quality with some nice bits.”
Coventry assistant Joe Edwards was keen to look at the positives after the Sky Blues went toe-to-toe with the new league leaders.
It was a mix-up between Brad Collins and Liam Kitching that led to the Burnley winner, as Anthony was able to seize on a loose ball and roll in his second of the afternoon.
Edwards was taking over media duties after Frank Lampard was sent off by referee James Bell following the final whistle.
Edwards said: “The positive we have to take from it is that we’ve gone up against a top team there in the division.
“We spoke before the game about this potentially being a chance for us to lay a marker down. I think it’s clear the top three this season have been the standout three, and we wanted to come here and really give them a game today and I think they got that.
“There’s real disappointment in the dressing room off the result, but I think when we get back together there will be a belief to be taken for how much we went toe-to-toe with one of the best teams in the division.
“Both the lads involved will be disappointed, it’s obviously a mistake and they’ll be disappointed because they’re both really good players.
“It was a bad way to start the second half, and then when you’re playing against a team of this level the big thing you’re then focusing on and questioning is the response and I think the response is outstanding.”
