Fofana already appears to be something of a cult hero despite only making two substitute appearances so far, but the Ivorian suggests the feeling is very much mutual.
“I’m so happy to score two goals and to score my first goals for Burnley, I’m so happy with that,” he told Clarets+.
“I’m here to help the team, so I will do the best I can.
“When you score the last goal in the 90th minute, for me it’s crazy because it’s the last, last time so it was crazy.

“He said ‘why not also score?’ and I told him ‘I will score’. I was focused on that, to help the team.
“It was an amazing first experience at Turf Moor. When I score I always celebrate with the fans. I like the vibes and everything.”
