NFL legend J.J. Watt showed his appreciation for Bruno Fernandes’ winner against Burnley on Saturday night.
Erik ten Hag’s side had to bounce back from a slow start to the season to secure three points at Turf Moor.
The Reds were unconvincing for most of the first half, but after a world class volley from Fernandes on the brink of half-time, we controlled the remainder of the match and deserved the win.
Former NFL star Watt was watching the game, having become a minority investor in Burnley following their promotion back to the Premier League, and he couldn’t help but comment on Fernandes’ brilliance.
Watt took to Twitter to write: “Scoreline doesn’t reflect the run of play in the first half, but that’s the way it goes sometimes. Hate to say, but it was a class finish from Bruno.”

Big second half ahead, the boys have had their chances, time to bury some home.
Come On Burnley!!!#UTC

It sure was and we hope Fernandes can pop up with the goods again next week, with our back-to-back games against Crystal Palace.
Burnley have started the season slowly and currently sit at the bottom of the Premier League. Vincent Kompany has his work cut out for him.
