Summer signing believes Clarets will continue to get better

Luca Koleosho believes that with the positive signs shown in Monday's showing at The City Ground that this Burnley side are only going to keep improving.

The Clarets played out a 1-1 draw in the tightly-fought contest with Koleosho showing his flair down the flanks.

Speaking after the game, Koleosho, who turned 19 last Friday said: “As a team we wanted the three points obviously, we were able to go up 1-0, they scored a great goal and made it 1-1 but we were able to get a point and now I feel like the team we can build off this, get more momentum and hopefully get more points next game out.”

The point, is Burnley's first in this Premier League campaign, after a challenging run of opening games.

“It’s always good to get, especially the first point of the season. I think that we can really build off this and just keep grinding as a team and just keep on getting more and more points, accumulate through the season and just finish off strong.”

Koleosho has started every game for the Clarets so far this season having joined in the summer and felt that the team got into their side as the game went on.

“We were just listening to what the coach said, sticking to the plan, trusting one another, fighting for each other and we were able to do that, and we were able to play really well and go up 1-0.

"At half-time the manager said just keep playing our football. Try and enjoy it. Be aggressive in everything and just try and add on more points.”

Hailing from Connecticut, Koleosho experienced plenty of joy down the flanks, completing the most dribbles in the game and causing defenders problems.

“I try to! I love going at my defender. My teammates encourage me to do it and I just enjoy doing it.”

Burnley will take the point into the week ahead which sees the side welcome Manchester United to Turf Moor on Saturday night. On how the team will build on this evening's performance, Koleosho said: “We’ll just be looking at what things went well and to improve on that. What things didn’t go well and how to improve on that as well - and just as a collective, as a team just sticking to the plan and improve day by day. I know that we’re going to keep on improving and I know we’re going to play even better as time goes on.”

Plus, after the international break and some away fixtures, the Burnley number 30 is looking forward to being back on home turf.

“Yes of course, with the break, with this, we spent a lot of time away from home and Saturday we’re able to go back out there and play in front of the home fans.”
