Kamarni Ryan capped a dominant display for the Clarets on Tuesday afternoon as our Under 21s returned home empty-handed.
Kamarni Ryan’s strike put the seal on a comfortable victory for Burnley’s Under 21s in the Professional Development League with the Clarets keeping up the pressure on leaders Sheffield United.
Ryan Semple shuffled his defensive options heading into the afternoon, with James Dornelly, Harley Mills and Romoney Crichlow all gaining minutes.
Mahamadou Susoho came in from the outset as the midfielder made his first appearance since early August.
The hosts were dominant from the start and opened the scoring inside four minutes as Joe Bauress teed up Tommy MCDERMOTT for an early lead.
Lewis RICHARDSON doubled the hosts’ lead on 27 minutes when the forward picked out the bottom corner.
Tweedy was the architect once more when his delivery was met by Joe WESTLEY who tapped home at the back post.
Veeners’ attempt on 40 minutes was palmed away by Bastian Smith, before Pemi Aderoju looked for a response down the other end but his effort glanced wide.
RYAN added a fourth soon after the restart when the substitute sent an effort past Smith.
The ball was then worked well to Joao Mendes whose effort was shovelled away to Brandon Ly who failed to convert the follow-up.
Eddie Fox ventured forward on 75 minutes, but the midfielder’s effort fell wide of the mark.
RYAN added his second late on with a simple finish past Smith to put cap on a successful afternoon for the hosts.
