Scott Arfield proud of stunning Burnley goal: Family there to see it!

Scott Arfield was proud of his maiden Premier League goal in Burnley's defeat to Chelsea.

The young Scot hit a screamer to put the Clarets 1-0 ahead before Chelsea turned on the style.

Arfield told the club's website: "I think Matty (Taylor) went down the left hand side and picked me out perfectly and I just had a bit of composure, took a touch and let fly.

"Thankfully it goes into the roof of the net so I was absolutely buzzing.

"I've waited a long time to play in the top division and I enjoyed it.

"On a personal level that was different class and my family were down here from Scotland to see it too.

"They've stuck by me and they've waited a long time for that too so it was a really special moment."
