Watford

Watford head coach Alessio Dionisi spoke to BBC Three Counties Radio after his side won 2-1 against Southampton in his first Championship game in charge:

"I am very happy. My team at the end was very tired because the match was difficult," he said.

"Southampton is very strong, for me they will arrive in first, second or third position [at the end of the season].

"I liked the mentality of my players, because in every moment I saw one team. They worked together without the ball and with the ball."

Remember Burnley and West Ham wasn't the only Championship game today.

While we wait more reaction from Turf Moor let's see what the managers had to say from Watford and Southampton about their match.

Burnley offered plenty of attacking threat today, even if they did let a lot of it fall to the wayside.

West Ham, meanwhile, were slightly more clinical but maybe a tad too passive against a team that, like them, were playing in the Premier League a few months ago.

A little more from goal scorer and player of the match Zian Flemming speaking to Sky Sports:

"West Ham are probably the very clear favourite to win the league this year, so, it was an exciting start to host them at home and like we said before the game this can be a game where we can make a statement as a team.

"If they are the favourites then lets show them that we're going to be right up there as well and I think we've done that today even though we didn't get the win.

Burnley

Burnley's Zian Flemming scored both of his side's goals in the closing 10 minutes of the game to earn the Clarets a point, and he also missed a handful of other chances through the second-half.

He said his side deserved the point, maybe even more, speaking after full-time.

"We were quite good for the entire game, we conceded two goals which shouldn't happen but overall we probably deserved even more than a point if you see the chances we had, the chances I had," Flemming told Sky Sports.

"Myself and the lads have to do better at some, at some you have to be a little bit lucky or not unlucky.

"But we showed great persistance to keep going, to keep going and kept believing we were 2-0 down and we could score and come back in the game."

At 2-0 Burnley were dead and buried then they got a lifeline with the penalty.

Zian Flemming hits the post with the header and then sees one cleared off the line. It was always going to be him who was going to get the goal.

Great spirit from Burnley and credit to the manager for taking a gamble that he made and he probably got the reward for it.

It will look and feel like like a win, but there's lots to work on, to do better and the manager to look at.

A great game for the Championship for the start of the season.

Burnley fight back to draw with fellow relegated club West Ham.

It felt inevitable that the Hammers would go on to win after Manor Solomon fired in a second but no.

A naive error from young left-back Oliver Scarles gifted Burnley a penalty and Zian Flemming, after missing so many chances throughout the match, converted before finding another to level.

That second-half was so much better from the Clarets. They never stopped believing and now their fans might be feeling more hopeful about their chances this season too.

It's a wonderful finish. If you want the ball to drop to any player it's Zian Flemming.

He's had six or seven attempts, but he's got the equaliser. He dispatches it right into that bottom corner.

Fantastic!

I've got to applaud the Burnley players, particularly the players that have come off the bench because they've impacted the game.

His Burnley team-mate Zian Flemming must misread it too, as if he would have got a touch to redirect it we could have seen an equaliser.

It's a great penalty, sends the keeper the wrong way.

Burnley are back in the game.

This finish was not one you'd foresee at 2-0 down, but they've found a way back.

Hold up.
