Fans were left purring as Irish midfielder Josh Cullen made an impressive start at his new club, turning in an excellent performance for Burnley away to Huddersfield in the Sky Bet Championship season opener yesterday evening.
Cullen's debut had been highly anticipated and the central midfielder did not disappoint. In his first game for his new side, Cullen ran the show as Burnley beat Huddersfield 1-0 and made a winning start to the new season.
The 26-year old, who joined Burnley from Belgian side Anderlecht in a £3 million move earlier this summer is a firm favourite of new Clarets boss Vincent Kompany having played under him at Anderlecht last season. And in a development that will surprise no Irish fan, Cullen has already won over many Burnley supporters and set Twitter ablaze with excitement after his wonderful display last night.
