Matej Vydra happy to grab top-flight goal

Burnley striker Matej Vydra was delighted to end his long wait for a top-flight goal as the Clarets bounced back to earn a valuable point in their 1-1 draw with Leicester City.

Vydra struck in the Premier League for the first time since netting in back-to-back games last February.

He said, “It was a bad pass from the opposite guy and I read the pass. I was in front of the keeper and I finished with the goal which earned a point, so it was a good night for me,” said Vydra after slotting home his fourth goal of the campaign.

“I have waited so long again for a goal in the Premier League and I’m so happy because it was against a very good side.

“It was after four minutes so it helped us a lot. Then we conceded but in the second half we showed the quality up front and we had a couple of very good chances to score but (Kasper) Schmeichel made some very good saves.

“It was a good point and we could be proud of the second half and our performance.”
