Sean Dyche’s squad took on simultaneous friendly games against Morecambe, promoted to League 1 in May, and League 2 Salford City.

And the Clarets came out on top in both games.

Against the Shrimps, Ashley Barnes gave Burnley a 16th-minute lead, and Johann Berg Gudmundsson netted a second after the interval in a 2-1 win.
