Manager Vincent Kompany of Burnley expressed confidence in his newly promoted team, stating that they have the capability to rival several other clubs in the Premier League. This belief comes after Burnley secured their first point since rejoining the top tier of English football following a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest on Monday.


Kompany pointed out that in their four previous matches, Burnley hadn't quite reached their peak performance, even having a goal disallowed due to a handball decision.


"You have to fight for every point in this league, but there are a range of teams we can compete with from what I have observed in the four games," he said.


"We have not had a complete performance yet, but today was at least even and depending on which side of the fence you sit, you feel you deserved the win.


"If we can keep improving, our team has so much progress to go and that is the exciting part. In the future there is room for much further improvement."


Burnley, who lost their first three matches, all at home, are second from bottom in the league and next host Manchester United on Saturday.
