Hupu, August 16th, the first round of the Premier League, Burnley's away challenge to Tottenham is in progress. At the end of the first half, Burnley fell behind 0-1 away.

For 30-year-old England midfielder Josh Laurenter, who started for Burnley in this game, this game was his dream come true.

He has played professional football since the 2013-14 season and has played in England's 2-5th League for 11 years. Now he has finally made it to the top league.

Burnley spent 1.2 million euros to sign him from Stoke City in the summer window of 2024. Last season, he was Burnley's semi-main rotation midfielder, playing in a total of 44 games in various competitions, including 25 starting games.
