Fleetwood Town boss Joey Barton believes winger Wes Burns 'taught Bryan Oviedo a few things' in his side's victory over Sunderland on Tuesday evening.
The former Newcastle United player had been delighted to end the Black Cats' hopes of automatic promotion with the win at Highbury Stadium in midweek.
And speaking ahead of the final game of the season, he revealed his delight with Burns who was recently voted the Fleetwood fans' Player of the Season.
Barton told the Blackpool Gazette: "I said to them in there ‘You have shown on Tuesday night that you are capable.’
“Wes Burns, up against Bryan Oviedo; Bryan played in a World Cup (for Costa Rica) and Wes taught him many things in that second half.
“I thought he was outstanding; charging down and gives him 20-30 yards to then win a throw-in that Ross (Wallace) pulls the magic off to get a corner and win us the game.
“He could have left that, he could have stayed in his slot and kept a 1-1 scoreline but he wants to be a player and it is a delight to see as a coach.
“When players run that hard you win football matches. In the second half we had a real desire to win a football match in front of our fans.”
