Burnley's Zian Flemming addresses impressive 8-goal debut Premier League campaign
Zian Flemming is understandably pleased with his Burnley goal-haul on what is his first ever season in the Premier League.
The Dutchman is closing in on double digits for the Clarets after scoring against Fulham last week, to notch his eighth league goal of the campaign.
Having also scored against Cardiff City in the Carabao Cup at the beginning of the season, the 27-year-old has nine to his name in all competitions.
With seven games remaining, there’s no reason why the former Millwall man can’t continue his scoring run, which has come from just 14 league starts.
While he wasn’t necessarily able to savour his latest strike, Burnley’s opener during their 3-1 defeat at Fulham last time out, he’s still more than satisfied with his individual achievements to date.

“It’s good but it’s a bit hard to enjoy that with the result,” he told Burnley’s YouTube channel.
“Trying to put the emotion to a side, scoring eight goals in the Premier League at this point in the season is something I would have signed for at the beginning of the season.”
Flemming’s contribution could have been even more significant had he not been restricted by two separate injuries this season.
The forward didn’t start his first league game until the Leeds United game on October 18 due to a pre-season injury, while he also missed the whole of January with another issue.
