Ne-Jai Tucker and his Burnley Under-23 teammates bounce back and claim the third spot in the Lockstep Trophy
Rob Harker scored again as Burnley secured third place in the Lockstep Trophy.
Burnley was again without a handful of their more established players - who traveled with the first team to League Two outfit Oldham Athletic.
But a fourth pre-season goal from skipper Harker was enough to secure a first pre-season win for the U23s and earned them victory in the third-fourth place play-off.
After a scrappy opening 15 minutes, it was the Clarets who opened the scoring.
Harker found space inside the 18-yard box after Darra Costelloe worked the ball past the defender to find his teammate, and there was only one outcome once it left the right boot.
