The two clubs played a youth friendly in February 2020, with the Reds winning 2-0, thanks to goals from Tahith Chong and James Garner.

Lammens kept goal against a team containing the likes of Matej Kovar, Teden Mengi, Angel Gomes, Ethan Galbraith and Hannibal, who featured against his former club, for Burnley, in our last Premier League outing.

With the behind-closed-doors friendly arranged ahead of the senior fixture between the clubs in the UEFA Europa League, it provided a useful exercise for all involved, and is something that clearly has extra significance now for our latest signing.
