Clarets Up And Running

Burnley kicked-off their pre-season campaign with a comfortable win over Tranmere Rovers and a defeat at the hands of Shrewsbury Town.

The Clarets split their squad for two concurrent games at the Barnfield Training Centre, with a sprinkling of U23 players drafted in to cover for a handful of injured first-teamers.

Centre back Bobby Thomas caught the eye with a goal in the 3-0 win over Tranmere, where Matej Vydra and Johann Berg Gudundsson were also on target.

Chris Wood got the only Burnley goal in the other game where League One Shrewsbury come out on top thanks to two early strikes.
