'Player in there': Leading pundit makes Armando Broja claim after Burnley striker breaks duck
Armando Broja finally broke his Burnley duck at the weekend with his dramatic late equaliser at Bournemouth.
The big money summer signing headed home in the final minute of normal time as the Clarets ended their losing run with a 1-1 draw at the Vitality Stadium.
It’s been a tough start to his Burnley career, having struggled for minutes as he works his way back to full fitness.
But he’s featured more heavily in recent weeks – and with a first goal now under his belt, Sky Sports pundit Alan Smith believes the Albanian could add some much-needed potency to Burnley’s attack.

“The point against Bournemouth is a good point,” he told BestBettingSites.co.uk. “But they are still seven points adrift, so that’s going to be difficult.
“They remain fairly competitive, which is a plus point for Scott Parker. I don’t think they’ve got enough ultimately to stay up, but they’ve just got to keep going.
“Broja got a goal and I always thought there’s a player in there somewhere, if they could just bring it out and keep him fit, that would help a bit more potency in attack and they’ve just got to hang in there.”
