Qualifier Continues Turf Moor England History

The Clarets’ staging of another England Under-21 international at Turf Moor in March continues a fine tradition of hosting international matches, writes Phil Bird.

It all started on 28 November, 1927 when Turf Moor staged its only full international to date.

Wales beat England 2-1. Burnley's Jack Hill played for England and put through his own goal.

England Under-21s last played at Turf Moor in November 2014 when they beat Portugal 3-1.

Clarets striker Danny Ings scored twice, while Michael Keane (on loan at Burnley) and Ben Gibson, now at Burnley, also started.
