Parker on cloud nine following victory against Wolves

“These moments are why you’re in the game” - Scott Parker’s words after an incredible victory for Burnley against Wolverhampton Wanderers this afternoon.

Lyle Foster’s stoppage time winner sparked scenes that will live long in the memory, as the Clarets secured a first away victory of the season, and even more importantly perhaps, back-to-back wins in the Premier League.

“It was an incredible feeling when that goal went in,” said Parker.

“We deserved that – we’ve been on the wrong end of games like that this season.

“It’s a massive win for us in terms of our development as a squad. Back-to-back wins are never easy to come by in this division. We’ve achieved that with an away win, which is even more satisfying.”

Parker added: “The mentality of this group never ceases to amaze me. To show that determination to go and get a winner in the dying minutes – we earned the right. I’m immensely proud.

“You could tell in the celebrations what it meant – there’s an incredible resilience and character about this group. The mindset to go and get a winner like that, I’m absolutely delighted.”

Burnley led 2-0 inside the opening half an hour, thanks to Zian Flemming’s double, only for the hosts to fight back with two goals of their own in the closing minutes of the first half.

The Clarets could have buckled, but Parker’s side are made of stern stuff, and their reward for digging in when it mattered most arrived deep in second half stoppage-time.

“We didn’t buckle at 2-2, we stayed in the game and I always thought there would be one last chance,” said Parker.

“In the end we showed some great quality to get the winner. A great weight of pass and an incredible finish.

“We deserved it – the group, the players, the fans. What an incredible feeling!”
