Burnley striker Barnes eager to build on last season's success

Burnley striker Ashley Barnes wants to build on last season's success.

The 28-year-old hit nine Premier League goals, taking him to a record tally of 20 for the club in that competition, as he helped Burnley to seventh place in the table and European qualification.

"It was my best season in terms of goals, but that season has gone now, I need to write it off and create a new season and hopefully I can get a bit more history and bring goals to the club," he told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.

"But the most important thing for me is winning, I couldn't care less who scores, I just want to win and as long as we come away with the three points that's the main thing.

"Personally, it always nice to hit the back of the net as a striker and I want to do that as often as possible."
