BURNLEY boss Sean Dyche was full of praise for Jack Cork as he helped sink former club Swansea 2-0 at Turf Moor.

The Swans remain rooted in the Premier League relegation zone after goals from Cork, who swapped clubs for £10million in the summer, and Ashley Barnes.

Cork made his England debut against Germany during the international break and has now netted twice in 12 games for Burnley – the same number of goals he managed in two-and-a-half years in Wales.

Dyche said: "Corky – what a couple of weeks he's had. He deserved his goal.

"I love to see my midfielders driving into the box. Like Bryan Robson, flying into the box and heading it in, you don't see that so often now and it's great to see.

"This is to be enjoyed and I'll have my little window of about an hour before I start preparing for the next game."

Swansea boss Paul Clement admitted he is "concerned" about Swansea's perilous position, just as his own was cast into fresh doubt in front of the club's majority shareholder Steve Kaplan.

American businessman Kaplan, the who led a takeover last July, travelled to the match and although the trip was long planned, he cannot have been impressed by the listless manner of their latest loss.

Clement revealed Kaplan had visited the dressing room prior to kick-off and expected to be talking to him again soon.

A small section of away fans made it clear they wanted that meeting to be Clement's last as manager and he shared their frustration, if not their conclusion.

"Clearly he's not going to be happy with the performance or the results, which I'm not, the technical staff are not and the players are not," he said of Kaplan.

"Concerned? Yeah, of course. I'd be stupid if I wasn't. I'm concerned about the level of performance, concerned about our position in the table, about how many goals we've scored or haven't scored.

"If they (the owners) ever felt there was someone that can get better out of this team and these players than I can, that's their right to do that.

"But I have no doubt about my own ability and the ability of these players and together we have to work through difficult times."

If there was any cause for optimism on a dispiriting afternoon for his side, it came in the shape of opposite number Dyche.

Burnley's decision-makers kept faith with him after the club's relegation in 2015 and were rewarded with immediate promotion and continuous on-field growth ever since.

Clement said: "Sean's done a very good job here. Even when the team got relegated back to the Championship, the owners here felt they had the right manager and it proved the correct thing."
