Burnley upped their preparations for their return to the Premier League with an impressive win against Benfica last night.
Goals from the unlikely source of academy product Owen Dodgson and fellow defender Hjalmar Ekdal saw Vincent Kompany’s side claim a 2-0 win against the Portuguese champions.
Kompany’s men were well worth their win too despite making wholesale changes from the team that lined up against Genk on Saturday.
Take a look at some of our best pictures of the action from last night’s game in Lisbon…
