Goalscorer reviews Hornets win

Midfielder Jack Cork speaks after scoring his first goal in over three years as the Clarets won 2-1 at Watford.

Cork grabbed an 82nd minute equaliser with a diving header, before central-midfield partner Josh Brownhill snatched an 86th minute winner.

Cork on his goal:

“It just happened! I saw Charlie [Taylor] running down the line and just hoped that he might overhit it a little bit. No one tracked me, and to be honest I thought I was going to smash into the post, but Browny [Josh Brownhill] scored as well and he’s been brilliant recently.

“I’m just happy for everyone, it’s been a tough couple of weeks, but we’ve all pulled together. Hopefully we can push on till the end of the season.

“It’s a massive part of this club that when things aren’t going our way, we pull together. It’s not only been in the last couple of weeks that that’s happened and been the case.”

Cork on coming from behind to win:

“In the first half, we were sloppy. We let them score a goal and didn’t really do what we set out to do.

“We never gave up though and were the better team in the second half. We had a lot of chances, and we were unlucky not to get a couple more [goals] before I scored the equaliser.

“I’m just over the moon. It’s been a great week for us, and hopefully we just keep going.”

Cork on kicking on after the leveller:

“A point would’ve been great for us, but we were having a lot of the ball and they were dropping a bit deeper, so after we scored, momentum went our way.”

Corky on the Burnley support at Vicarage Road:

“We had some great fans there today, loads of them shouting for us. Full credit to them, they’ve been amazing and there’s just a real good feel across the club now.”
