"When we played here earlier in the season it was a close game and no matter where any team sits, the Premier League is exceptionally tough".
After a loss to Southampton at the King Power Stadium last week, Leicester will be looking to bounce back with a win against Burnley on Sunday.
Charlie Taylor found space to cross from the left and Evans' half clearance fell to Westwood, who drilled home his first ever goal at Turf Moor on his 400th career appearance.
"We had some question marks around us recently, which is kind of a backhanded compliment. There was a big sign of moving forward with that performance", Dyche said.

Burnley's first league win since December 21 lifted them five points clear of the drop zone, while Leicester missed the chance to move level with second-placed Manchester City.
"We had opportunities and their keeper makes a number of great saves".

"We just need to work hard".
Burnley's effort couldn't be faulted but at first they lacked composure in the final third and Leicester took the lead in the 33rd minute.
You would have expected Leicester to kick on from there, but Burnley restricted their passing game as Jack Cork and Westwood did a fine job at restricting the unsafe James Maddison. Then Burnley came down the field for Chris Wood to head over the bar from Charlie Taylor's cross, before Maddison nearly scored at the other end with a shot from just outside the area.

The goalkeeper deserved credit for standing tall and his third notable save of the afternoon was followed nearly immediately by Westwood's victor, the midfielder latching on to an ineffective clearance from Jonny Evans to score for the first time at Turf Moor after Taylor had sent over a cross.
