‘You’ve been in the Premier League for six seasons and you’re still wearing the same s*** coat, you big p****’: Aston Villa star John McGinn’s put-down in touchline spat with Burnley boss Sean Dyche is revealed
- Sean Dyche had a touchline spat with Aston Villa star John McGinn last month
- Dyche was angry about a challenge from McGinn’s and began complaining
- McGinn had little sympathy with the Burnley boss and told him to ‘shut up’
- Taken aback by the insult, Dyche accused McGinn of being too big for his boots
- However, the Scot fired back by mocking the 49-year-old’s trusty touchline coat
- Dyche did have the last laugh though as Burnley came from behind to win 3-2
Burnley’s 3-2 win over Aston Villa last month was an entertaining affair as the hosts secured an impressive late comeback while Jack Grealish put in another top display.
However, the match is more likely to live long in the memory after the revelation of a hilarious exchange between Sean Dyche and John McGinn near the touchline.
After McGinn had put in what Dyche deemed a late challenge on one of his players, the Burnley boss made his feelings known.

The Scotsman was quick to dismiss Dyche’s touchline complaints, telling him ‘shut up’, according to Football Ramble.
Not wanting to back down, the 49-year-old responded: ‘So you’ve been in the Premier League for one season and you think you’re proper big time, telling me to ”shut up”?’
McGinn quickly chirped back with the devastating comeback: ‘You’ve been in the Premier League for six seasons and you’re still wearing the same s*** coat, you big p***k!’
Chris Wood’s header completed the turnaround for the hosts to boost their survival hopes
The war of words ended there, but although Dyche’s pride may have been wounded momentarily, he did eventually have the last laugh as Dwight McNeil and Chris Wood helped turn the game on its head and secure victory.
Burnley suffered a slow start to the season, but the win over high-flying Villa gave them a much-needed boost. Dyche’s men are now 17th in the table but are eight points clear of Fulham in the relegation zone.
Meanwhile, Villa have enjoyed a terrific campaign so far excluding their set-back at Turf Moor. Despite battling relegation last season, they have been keeping pace with the teams battling the top four. Dean Smith’s side are ninth but just five points off Liverpool in fourth with two games in hand.
