When Sean Dyche arrived at Burnley, the main attraction was a striker signed for barely seven figures from Swindon Town.
Today it’s a £13million Ivorian international from Lyon. What a difference nine years makes.
As with Charlie Austin in his first match, Maxwel Cornet was one of the stars of Dyche’s big day as the manager celebrated his anniversary at Turf Moor in some style — a rampant first-half display that produced three goals to secure Burnley’s first win of the season.
It was one of many firsts: a first win at home since January and the first time in Premier League history the Clarets had scored three at home in the opening half.
