Jack Cork happy with point on the road

Midfielder Jack Cork reflected on Burnley’s 1-1 draw away at Crystal Palace on Saturday, as Sean Dyche’s Clarets made it seven points from their last three Premier League games.

Aaron Lennon’s equaliser a minute after-half-time secured a point on our travels to Selhurst Park, which cancelled out Jeffrey Schlupp’s opening goal for Patrick Vieira’s Eagles.

Cork on the Palace point:

“It’s been a great week for us. We had the two wins, a tough one against Brighton and a tough one against Tottenham, so it took us a while to get into the game.

"The pitch was a bit bobbly, they like to play, and it took us ten or 15 minutes to get used to the game, and in the second-half we really kicked on and could have won the game.”

Cork on the remaining months of the season:

“It’s a massive seven points. We were on 14 points and now we’re right in amongst it, with three games in hand on some teams, it’s a really good time to build until the end of the season.

“We’ve been here before, we know that we can get out of it and we know we can do it, how we are playing and we seem to have found a mix of how to do things properly so hopefully we can keep going and finish the season well.

“We’ve got a few players coming back now, the squad is looking strong, and we’ve got two games coming up, Leicester and Chelsea, both are home games and like you saw against Tottenham, it would be great to repeat that.”

Cork on the supporters:

“They were brilliant again, it’s hard to come to all the games, come this far and support your team but they’ve been brilliant.

“The Brighton game was horrible weather, but they all came down, they backed us throughout the Tottenham game, and to sell-out Crystal Palace away is amazing, and it really gives us momentum and a lift, and we’ll need it going into the rest of the season.”
