Farrell: We Rose To The Challenge

Andy Farrell believes tackling Roses rivals Leeds United brings the best out of the Clarets after another successful comeback at Elland Road.

Last season Dwight McNeil inspired a fightback from 2-0 down to earn a share of the points in the U23 Professional Development League.

And on Monday night, Burnley again came from behind to extend their unbeaten start to the season as a Josh Benson penalty secured a 1-1 draw against the defending league champions who started the game with seven players boasting first-team experience.

“We always look forward to this one,” said Farrell – the Clarets’ U23s’ assistant coach.
