Robbie Brady is targeting more goals after breaking a two-year duck for Burnley last night.
Ireland midfielder Brady came off the bench at Turf Moor to score the Clarets' late consolation in a 4-1 loss to Manchester City.
It was the 27-year-old's first goal for his club since scoring in a win over Bournemouth in November 2017, but Brady has only started nine times in 25 appearances since then due to an injury-hit couple of years.
“It’s been difficult, so it’s a little bit of relief to get off the mark and hopefully I can add a few more before the end of the season,” Brady said.
“I’m working hard and giving it my all every day in training and, like the rest of the lads, we’re working hard to get a shirt come the weekend.
"We’ll stick at it and I’ll stick at it myself and, please God, there’ll be some more performances and hopefully a couple more goals.”
The defeat was Burnley's second on the spin and, with Jose Mourinho's Tottenham to come on Saturday, Sean Dyche's side - currently 11th in the Premier League table - are looking for a quick change of fortune.
“It’s difficult for the lads when a team like this comes and plays the way they do," said Brady, reflecting on City's performance.
"I thought we worked hard but their class showed at times and there were some good finishes.
"We have to learn from nights like this but not dwell on it too long because we have another big one coming up at the weekend. We’ll get ourselves together and go again.
“It’s a key stage in the season. We’ve picked up some valuable points already.
"It’s been disappointing in the last two, but we’ve got a busy period coming up and we need to get together and stick to our guns and get some points over the Christmas period."
