Manager Vincent Kompany was pleased his side were on the right end of a stoppage time goal on Saturday, as Anass Zaroury's 95th minute goal sealed all three points at Turf Moor against Reading.

Post-match the Burnley boss discussed the win, the impact of Manuel Benson and matchwinner Zaroury.

Kompany on the victory:

"It was a tough game, Reading are a well organised side and they made us work hard for it.

"We played well, there is nothing I can complain about at all, it's a great win for us.

"They had a penalty shout at the end, which was a penalty, but there is nothing I can say to make Paul Ince's night better.

"This time it went our way, we go up the other end and get a late winner, it's a good day for us."

Kompany on the introduction of Benson:

"Benny changes games and we know that. I think Benson can do what he did, I've seen him do it at his previous club.

"Sometimes, it doesn't matter in which order we put them on, we have players who are able to do something on any given day.

"And today it was Benny and he has done it a few times for us now, but that's what you need in this league."

Kompany on Zaroury's winner:

"I keep saying to wingers, every winger I have ever come across, you can score the screamer like at Sunderland but you might get five a season if you are a top player.

"But the tap ins at the back post, that could be 15-20 a season and I have never known a good winger not to score these goals.

"It is good that he does score those goals because they are the ones that will give him numbers.

"I'm pleased for him to get another, he was in the perfect place at the right time and it was a great feeling for him."

Kompany on the Turf Moor atmosphere:

"We just love playing here. It's special for us all, there is just a great feeling of when we are at home.

"If we could play every game here, then we would. It's a special atmosphere and it was amazing again today.

"We are looking forward to Wednesday now, back here and in front of our fans and we will be ready for it."
