VIN’S HOT ROD

Clarets boss delighted to be in good Kompany

STYLISH on and off the pitch, Burnley served notice that they are in a hurry to reclaim a Premier League place.

While boss Vincent Kompany was all snazzy gear on the touchline his vibrant side, with Jay Rodriguez on fire, demolished one of the Championship’s in-form sides.

He said: “The performance was good, one filled with energy. We wanted to give the fans something to be happy about. I always thought this would be a big test.

“16 players coming into this squad has made this another step towards being discovered. I can now trust them more. We were threatening with the ball.

“But I’m not going to go over the top. We can be even more dominant.”

Swansea were simply torn apart in the opening half by the home side’s turbocharged attacks led by wing speedsters Nathan Tella and Anass Zaroury.
