Burnley boss Kompany: Beautiful to see Foster score

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany praised Lyle Foster for his goalscoring return in defeat at Aston Villa.

The South Africa striker had missed several weeks due to depression.

Kompany said: "I honestly don't know how he does it. I really don't.

"We saw him when he was at his lowest point and it even makes me emotional to think about it because it was a real tragedy.

"To see him enjoying playing now with the team, I'm happy for him rebuilding his happiness and for me as a human not just a coach, it's beautiful for me to observe."
