Austin off the mark for Clarets

Charlie Austin scored his first goal for the club as Burnley ran out 3-0 winners at Bury on Tuesday night. The former Swindon striker started his first game since the end of February following surgery to repair a shoulder problem.Austin claimed the Clarets' opening goal after just seven minutes at Gigg Lane while rookie frontman Alex MacDonald and Chris Iwelumo were also on target and Chris Eagles missed a penalty.Boss Eddie Howe, who saw MacDonald and Iwelumo score for the second successive game, said: "You always want your strikers to have a good pre-season and score goals and so I'm delighted for all of them."Charlie in particular will get huge confidence from that. I have never doubted his ability. Charlie is a goalscorer and a fantastic finisher who has been champing at the bit."
