Burnley manager Sean Dyche has claimed that only a poor day in front of goal cost his side victory in the 2-0 defeat to Preston North End.
Second-half goals from Will Keane and Daniel Johnson ensured that it was the travelling fans celebrating victory in the Lancashire derby.
Burnley remain fifth after losing for just the third time in the Championship this season, but Dyche believes that his side created the chances required to collect all three points.
"You can only deserve a game if the final outcome is that you win, but we have certainly done enough to win," the Clarets boss told reporters.
"Their goalkeeper is man of the match, which is always a sign that you have been productive, but we have got to punish teams.
"I am disappointed by the outcome, not the performance. If we keep creating that many chances on a weekly basis we will win lots of football matches."
Burnley have not won any of their last four games.
