Ben Wilmot’s first-half effort proved to be enough to separate the two sides in what was a disjointed and, at times, sloppy display from Scott Parker’s side.
The goal in particular was a poor one to concede, as summer signing Max Weiss failed to deal with a corner, allowing Wilmot to steer home into the back of his empty net.
The Clarets huffed and puffed and otherwise looked a little disjointed, especially through the middle and in the final third where they failed to create many clear-cut chances of real quality.
A physical friendly, that at times carried plenty of needle, saw referee Steve Martin bizarrely send off Burnley’s Josh Laurent for two yellows. Another five bookings were also dished out, somewhat unnecessarily.

5. Quilindschy Hartman - 7/10
Got forward well and always offered an outlet down the left flank. Produced one or two dangerous crosses too. Looks to be an impressive summer signing. Photo: George Wood

6. Josh Cullen - 6/10
Neat and tidy, but on a couple of occasions showed a willingness to drive forward with the ball. Seems to be the designated corner-taker for the season. Photo: Alex Livesey

7. Josh Laurent - 5/10
Getting sent off in a friendly is a joke, but Laurent should have known better making such a reckless challenge when already on a yellow. Photo: George Wood

8. Hannibal - 5/10
Got caught up in too much aggro, which on one occasion saw him pick up a yellow for a shove on Ben Pearson. Wasteful in possession. Photo: George Wood
