So far this season, Foster has played 23 league matches in all competitions. The goal poacher has been directly involved in eight goals. The talented attacker has found the back of the net five times and provided three assists.
The former Orlando Pirates star’s progress this season was disturbed after he suffered from ‘mental issues’ late last year. This happened in November 2023 after the 23-year-old had signed a new long-term contract.
This cost the attacker a chance to represent his nation in the 2023 AFCON finals that were held in Ivory Coast between January and February.
In addition, Burnley, have been lacking at the back. They are the third-highest conceding team in the league after Sheffield United [101] and Luton Town [81]. Burnley have let in 76 goals.
In their last match of the campaign, Burnley will face Nottingham Forest, who will take on Chelsea later this evening.
Foster was in the starting line-up as Burnley opened the scoring just before the half-hour mark [25 minutes] through Jacob Larsen. Seven minutes later, Pedro Porro levelled matters in the 32nd minute for Tottenham. Then Micky van de Ven gave Spurs a lead in the 82nd minute.
Burnley have been struggling for form and consistency since the beginning of the season, and they haven’t been able to grind out the results.
The Clarets have spent the most part of the season in the relegation danger zone. With one match remaining, the Vincent Kompany-coached team has managed to collect 25 points. All-in-all, they have registered five victories, 10 draws and suffered 22 defeats.
Lyle Foster’s Burnley FC have been relegated from the English Premier League following a 2-1 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Therefore, Burnley will be participating in the English Championship next season [second tier] after just one season in the top-flight.
On Saturday the Botswana giants beat UB Hawks 1-0 in the semi-final of the Orange FA Cup. Zimbabwean star Daniel Msendami scored the solitary goal of the match as Ramoreboli’s troops booked a place in the final.
Meanwhile, in the league, they have won 19 matches and drew on three occasions. Two defeats stand out as their blemishes in this campaign. They are on 60 points.
In addition, they are boosted by a healthy goal difference of 28. Township Rollers FC are now eight points behind, with 52 points after playing 24 matches.
Though they are out of the tournament, Gaborone United are the record winner. They have won the title nine times since its inception.
Meanwhile, Daniel Msendami continues to prove his worth and that he is worthy of pursuing ahead of the next transfer window.
He scored the goal they needed in the quarter-finals before they won via the penalty lottery. The Zimbabwean is being targeted by SuperSport United and the Democratic Republic of Congo’s TP Mazembe.
Galaxy will face the winner between Tafic FC and Orapa United, who will face-off in the other Orange FA Cup semi-final match.
And as they cruise nicely in the league competition, it is no longer hard to imagine them completing a double this season.
Jwaneng Galaxy have never won the Orange FA Cup final, which has been an automatic ticket to the CAF Confederations Cup.
