Burnley boss Kompany delighted with matchwinner Maatsen

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany was delighted with matchwinner Ian Maatsen for victory at Huddersfield.

The Chelsea defender joined Burnley on loan for the season, and was off to a glittering start with a goal.

And Kompany was over the moon with his contribution.

He enthused: "The goal is a good thing but [aside from that] he stayed on his feet, won all his duels.

"That is a good sign for such a young full back to do that in the Championship.

“I understand why he had such a good season last season (with Coventry), and he is going to give us a lot."
