How Burnley's 'boring' style could secure Premier League survival
Cape Argus
|April 23, 2025
BURNLEY have confirmed their return to the English Premier League with victory over Sheffield United on Monday night.
South African football fans will be salivating at the prospect of seeing star striker Lyle Foster competing in the elite league again. The Bafana Bafana ace, who is currently injured, played a key part in Burnley's record-breaking Championship run. He has scored two goals and registered five assists so far in the second tier.
They are set to reach the 100-point mark, matching the achievement of the Burnley side that won promotion under Vincent Kompany in 2023.
Foster was also one of the Burnley standouts in that campaign, scoring five times in their brief stay in England's top flight.
But while that Burnley team swept all before them in the second tier with a dominant possession-based style of football, Scott Parker's side is known more for its defensive solidity.
