'We were nothing short of superb' - Parker

Burnley head coach Scott Parker spoke to BBC Radio Lancashire after his side returned to the automatic promotion places by beating Oxford.

"The first 45 minutes I thought we were nothing short of superb. We really dominated the game and we were everything we weren't at the weekend throughout," he said.

"We created a lot of chances and showed real quality.

"It's fair to say that going in at half-time 1-0 up was a little unjust because it could have been more. We missed some big chances.

"Overall I was delighted with the team, our general endeavour and the way we went about it tonight.

"Over the last few weeks we've been a little bit too desperate and tried to force things when really it wasn't open, and tonight I thought we showed a real balance - where to use passes to try and create bigger spaces, hence the chances we created.

"It comes from patience and manipulation of the opposition that opens up massive chances for us so I was really pleased with that."
