Fernando Forestieri Expresses Delight at Sheffield Wednesday Debut

The striker also set up Matty Taylor for the goal that put Burnley 2-1 up, and Gray was happy to have played an important part in his first Turf Moor outing.

This can especially be the case at Turf Moor, where even allowing for the recent shifting of the tunnel 20 or so yards towards the corner, players and management are within earshot of the away seats en route to the dressing room.

Jones (7) had Burnley ahead early on when he beat debutant Sheffield Wednesday ‘keeper Wildsmith, brought into the side as one of the number of changes following defeat to Middlesbrough last time, with an effort the teenager had no chance with.

Forestieri took to social media to post a photograph of himself in action in the game.

“Personally, I have never known anything like the amount of good, quality players we have in the team”.

“We dealt with it okay for most of the game”.

For Sheffield Wednesday the next game comes on Tuesday night with a trip to face Neil Lennon’s Bolton Wanderers side.

One Clarets signing who could make his debut is full-back Matt Lowton as he is now considered fully over a shin problem he picked up in pre-season.

But the Owls took advantage of his absence.

With players coming back from injury, and Joey Barton soon to take time out from talking politics, things are beginning to look better.

It was a free kick which opened the door to begin with though.

The impressive defender would have been the man marking Nuhiu when he was competing for headers in the build-up to the goal and the execution of it.

But it was all bright and sunny by the time the familiar news reached us that Sean Dyche had named an unchanged team.

Burnley, rightly regarded as one of the front-runners in this season’s promotion race, may have prevailed in the end thanks to late goals from Matthew Taylor and Andre Gray.

“But the reality is that we lost a match that we played very well and we created a lot of chances”.

The Italian squared and Nuhiu stepped away from two challenges to create space for a left foot shot, but could only fire straight at Heaton.

Sheffield Wednesday: Joe Wildsmith, Liam Palmer, Tom Lees, Glenn Loovens, Daniel Pudil, Kieran Lee, Sam Hutchinson, Ross Wallace (Marco Matias 76), Fernando Forestieri, Barry Bannan (Lucas João 81), Atdhe Nuhiu.

Burnley: Tom Heaton, Tendayi Darikwa, Michael Duff, Michael Keane, Ben Mee, George Boyd, Scott Arfield, David Jones, Michael Kightly (Matt Taylor 62), Sam Vokes (Rouwen Hennings 77), Andre Gray (Chris Long 90+3).
