It has happened. In his seventh match in the Premier League, Vincent Kompany’s Burnley took the first win of the season, visiting Luton Town (1-2). A victory with a Belgian signature.

After a 1 in 18 the pressure increased. For the first time there was some criticism from the outside world. Comments were made about how Premier League-worthy Vincent Kompany’s Burnley really is. Question marks will remain, but leave them in the meantime The Clarets red lantern Sheffield is left alone and there is a bit of pressure for a moment. Because the catch-up match against Luton Town, which had also been promoted – already a six-point match – ended in a 1-2 victory.

The first on the scoreboard was called Lyle Foster, taken from Westerlo in January for 11 million euros. On the advice of another old acquaintance, Sander Berge – but also because defender Locklyer missed his intervention – he was only allowed to head towards Thomas Kaminski: 0-1. No coincidence because the South African had already scored two, half of the four goals Burnley scored in the first six games. However, he made a stupid elbow in extra time against Nottingham Forest, which meant he had to sit on the penalty bench for the past three games.

The lead came as a reward for hard work, because Burnley showed themselves to be the most dangerous team for half a half when they visited Luton. The Swiss Amdouni in particular should have also scored. A header ended with a strong Kaminski, another attempt went far over, and the third and best chance he mowed over the ball.

Burnley played continental football and initially also had control in the second half. But the dominance did not result in great opportunities. Luton Town did it the British way. Crosses from the flank or standard situations and then head. Like in the first half when Ogbene already aimed wide.

Especially as time ticked away, Burnley lost their cool and the pressure increased in front of goalkeeper Trafford. Josh Cullen – one of the ten (!) players on the field who passed through our competition – had to clear a header from Brown before the line, Morris also nodded wide: Luton pressed. With seven minutes to go, substitute Adebayo turned away from Red Devil Al-Dhakil: 1-1. But less than a minute later, Jakob Bruun Larsen, ex-Anderlecht, turned wonderfully into the far corner: 1-2. Do you remember the Dane? Failed passer-by in Brussels, now liberator of a Brussels resident. Because the goal knocked out Luton.

Valuable, yes. But deserved, no, a draw would make more sense. Burnley needs more than an economical win over Luton. A statement. Chelsea will visit on Saturday.
