Burnley boss Sean Dyche has claimed that "four minutes of madness" cost his team dearly in Saturday's 3-0 defeat to Premier League champions Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
The pair were level entering the final stages of the first period, but Islam Slimani sent Leicester ahead in the 45th minute, before adding his second of the match shortly after the half-time break.
Dyche has admitted that his side struggled in the second half of action, but was pleased that the visitors managed to "nullify" Leicester in the first period.
"The reality was four minutes of madness. Two minutes before half time and two after," Dyche told BBC Sport. "We'd done well to control some of the tempo of the first half by getting a feel of the ball, and then you give away a really poor free kick. There's no reason to give it away.
"Then you go into half time, try and change things and calm everybody down, and then you give away a terrible goal within two minutes. The game's gone then really. They're a great side and have controlled large parts of the second half.
"As I said I think we'd done well to control the tempo in the first half, and nullify their game, and we had a big chance through [Steven] Defour. It's not a golden one but we didn't really respond after that miss. We know we've got to learn fast."
Burnley, who won the Championship last season to earn promotion to the top flight, currently sit 15th in the Premier League table on four points.
