Drinkwater On Target

Danny Drinkwater scored his first goal in a Burnley shirt as the Clarets beat an AFC Fylde side 3-0 in a Barnfield bounce-game.

Drinkwater claimed the second of three goals scored by the Clarets in a dominant second-half performance.

But, more importantly, the deadline-day signing was one of a number of senior players to complete the full game.

Drinkwater appeared for 45 minutes as an over-age player in the U23s’ 1-1 Professional Development League draw with Coventry City at Turf Moor on Monday.
