Robbie Brady screamer sending Burnley to unprecedented heights

Darragh Culhane

Dare to dream.

Okay, in football we may never see the likes of Leicester again.

They unearthed N’Golo Kante and converted him into one of the best holding midfielders on the planet, Jamie Vardy had that ridiculous run of goals and  Riyad Mahrez, well, he won Player of the Year.

But Burnley aren’t giving it the worst go in the world.

After a 2-1 win away to Bournemouth tonight, Sean Dyche’s side climb up to sixth and lie just one point off Liverpool.

It has been a remarkable start to the season for Burnley and it has been down to no small part from Robbie Brady, Stephen Ward, and Jeff Hendrick.

The trio have been regulars for the Clarets this season as they’ve climbed to the dizzy heights that nobody has expected but it was Brady that stole the plaudits today with a 65th-minute screamer for his team.

And it certainly didn’t go unnoticed from Burnley fans or from Irish fans.
