Burnley striker Andre Gray has received support from his manager Sean Dyche after apologising for homophobic tweets posted from his account.

Burnley manager Sean Dyche has insisted Andre Gray's apology was "authentic" after abusive and homophobic tweets posted by the striker were uncovered.

Tweets sent in 2012 were circulated online after Gray scored his first Premier League goal on Saturday in a 2-0 win over Liverpool at Turf Moor.

The striker has been charged by the FA over the incident and the 25-year-old issued an apology on social media on Saturday, insisting he "was a completely different person [then] to the man I am now".
