FRIENDLY: Doncaster Rovers U23s 3 Burnley U23s 3

Goals from Lewis Richardson, Rob Harker and Josh Benson saw the Clarets draw with Doncaster Rovers in a friendly at Cantley Park.

After a quiet start to the game, with a header from Harker (above) the only chance, Burnley opened the scoring with 20 minutes played.

Richardson slotted home from a few yards out, after following up the Rovers’ goalkeeper initial save from a Clarets’ trialist.

And just seven minutes later Steve Stone’s men had a second, as Richardson was brought down inside the area.

Harker stepped up and slammed home the penalty to double Burnley’s advantage in the beaming Yorkshire sun.
