Graham Alexander has hailed the spirit Owen Coyle has instilled in his Burnley Football Club squad.

The Scot led the Clarets to the Premier League where they have beaten Manchester United and Everton already this season, and Alexander has hailed the spirit within the camp.

"It's an amazing spirit we've got, the gaffer instils it and breeds it that we can beat anyone on our day," the veteran midfield player told the Independent on Sunday.

"He concentrates on what we can do, we don't feel like underdogs. The first game (a 2-0 defeat at Stoke City) didn't go too well and we got written off, but we shut them up with the next two results."
