Vitinho rounds off easy victory to give Parker a dream start

A clinical display from his Burnley team against a Luton side that is also trying to bounce back from being relegated last season sealed a deserved victory.

Parker's last managerial appointment ended up with him being sacked by Club Brugge after just 12 games in charge and has admitted that a chat with Thomas Tuchel during Bayern Munich's mid-season training camp in Portugal last year helped to reinvigorate him. Stepping into Vincent Kompany's shoes after he joined the German giants at the end of last season is certainly within his capabilities having led Fulham and Bournemouth to promotion from the Championship and he will have been delighted that Burnley's players appear to have bought into his philosophy immediately.
