Burnley boss praises side

Burnley boss Owen Coyle praised his lions after they battled to a victory on penalties against Chelsea in the Carling Cup last night. The result finished 1-1, but the Stamford Bridge side were dumped out in the penalty lottery.

"In terms of scalps they don't come any better than Chelsea because they are one of the elite clubs in Europe," the Scot told the Daily Mail.

"We could have felt sorry for ourselves when Drogba put them in front with a goal that shows why he is a world-class striker, but we didn't hide."
