In an attempt to return to the Premier League as soon as possible next season, Vincent Kompany wants his Burnley team to take inspiration from Nottingham Forest’s victory celebrations at Turf Moor. On the last day, Forest defeated the Clarets 2-1 in East Lancashire thanks to two goals in the first half from former Claret Chris Wood. After Burnley’s loss to Tottenham last weekend by the same score, their relegation was already official. After the final whistle, Kompany addressed the entire team and staff in a huddle before acknowledging the supporters. In response to a question about the message, he said, “It’s pretty simple.” On your field, your team has every right to celebrate with their own supporters.
We understand the joyous atmosphere at Turf Moor, and this must be the key takeaway for us in the upcoming season.” Wood scored his two goals in the first fifteen minutes of the match as the visitors took command of the game. He first put in a cross from Anthony Elanga at the far post before getting half a toe on a strike from Ryan Yates to put it past Aro Muric.
After a protracted VAR stoppage, the second goal that had been first given away for offside was eventually upheld. “I believe the emotions were there at the beginning of the game,” Kompany continued. We gave it everything we had in the game with the whole goal of winning, and we were penalized in the space of two minutes, leaving you to worry what kind of day it would be. “We gave ourselves a chance to be in the game and possibly get a result,” the team continued to press.
