Our under-21s returned to winning ways with a hard-fought victory over Burnley at Meadow Park on Friday night.
The breakthrough eventually arrived courtesy of a moment of individual brilliance from Brando Bailey-Joseph, whose superb solo effort proved enough to overcome a resilient Burnley side.
What happened
We started brightly and almost took the lead inside the opening 12 minutes. Charles Sagoe Jr showed excellent skill to beat his defender before delivering a teasing cross to Andre Harriman-Annous, whose header struck the post and bounced safely into the goalkeeper’s hands.
Soon after, Louis Zecevic John had a sight of goal but fired his effort over the bar as we continued to apply early pressure.
