Ben: Burnley suits Mee down to the ground
Ben Mee marked his 200th appearance for Burnley with a goal against his former club but the defender insists the team comes before any personal milestones.
Mee scrambled the ball home on Monday in their 2-1 reversal against Manchester City – his sixth goal for the Clarets.
Next up for Sean Dyche’s side is an FA Cup third round clash with Sunderland and Mee is confident that the Clarets are on the right track, currently sat 12th in the Premier League table.
“I was really pleased with that [playing 200th game]. From leaving Man City and making the move it’s been a very good move for me and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it.
“I’ve improved, I’ve got a lot more experience. It’s about improving all the time and continuing to get better.
“I came as a centre half and now I’m back playing there and I want to prove that I’m a Premier League centre half, that’s a big aim for me.

“I think a lot of people will be worried about us. We’re playing well, we’re winning at home and we’re tough to beat. We’re confident and it’s looking okay for us, but we want to push on this year and see where we can go.
“We won’t take anything for granted, we need to keep going and get more points. We’ll look to improve this year and kick on from where we are, now sit back and think it was a good year. We wanted to kick on and do well and see where it takes us.”
