Vincent Kompany's reign as Burnley boss is up and running at the first attempt – thanks to a delightful first-half winner from Chelsea loanee Ian Maatsen.
Belgian icon Kompany, who captained Manchester City to four Premier League titles, two FA Cups and four League Cups, had Dutchman Maatsen to thank for last night’s win. The 20-year-old left-back has joined the new-look Clarets on a season-long loan and rifled home in style in the 18th minute to finish off a move he started.
It was enough to have Kompany punching the air in delight at pitchside alongside his assistant and former City team-mate Craig Bellamy.
