Bafana Bafana international Lyle Foster got his first taste of Premier League football against the mighty Manchester City on Friday night. SLInt MORE:
The South African forward was named in the starting line-up by coach Vincent Kompany alongside 18-year-old Luca Koleosho in the attack.Foster was involved in a couple of Burnley's attacks in the first half, which included a nice individual run that ended with a wayward shot midway through the first stanza.
Burnley, however, were no match for Pep Guardiola's side on the day as Erling Haaland bagged a brace while Rodri also found the back of the net as the Citizens ran out 3-0 winners on the night. Frosler got a good run out on the night and managed to last 91 minutes before he was replaced by veteran winger Nathan Redmond.
The former Orlando Pirates striker becomes the 15th South African player to play in the English top-flight and the first since Percy Tau in 2021. Burnley and Foster will now wait two weeks for their next Premier League fixture, as next week's encounter with Luton Town has already been postponed as the Kenilworth Road ground is not ready yet.
