It’s been a case of better late than never for Marcus Edwards this season.Read MoreScott Parker lays out Burnley's squad list dilemma in midst of January transfer ...The 27-year-old barely featured during the first half of the campaign, having to wait until the Everton game on December 27 to make his first start.While he made seven substitute appearances prior to that, the majority of them were fleeting.But since coming into the side, starting four of Burnley’s last five games, he’s made a clear impact, injecting some much-needed creativity and invention in the final third.He also ticked off a major milestone at Anfield last week, scoring not only his first goal of the season, but also his first ever in the Premier League during Burnley’s hard-fought 1-1 draw with Liverpool.The Enfield-born winger will now be hoping to take that display into this weekend’s encounter against his former side Tottenham, where he came through the youth ranks, signing at the age of eight.While he only made one senior appearance for the first time, Edwards still has a lot of love for his first club.Maruc Edwards scores Burnley's equaliser at Anfield. Photo: Kelvin Lister-StuttardEdwards sat down with BBC Radio Lancashire to discuss a wide range of topics ahead of this afternoon’s encounter. Here’s what he had to say:12 months at Burnley“Things have been good. I’ve enjoyed it here, I’ve enjoyed meeting all of my teammates and all of my coaches. I’ve enjoyed Burnley the club.“We got promoted, so it’s been good. Overall it’s been an enjoyable time.”Tough season in the Premier League“It’s been up and down. We’ve not had too many good results, but at the same time it’s been good to be in the Premier League, to experience it and to compete in it.“Now I feel as though we’ve taken a bit of a turning point, so overall it’s been good and challenging.“We’re always going to compete, the way we set up is to compete and the way we get motivated is to compete. As men we are competitors, so we’re always going to compete.”The Burnley Express has launched a new WhatsApp channel to bring the latest news, analysis and team & injury updates directly to your phone.

Just playing at Anfield, I had never played there so just playing at Anfield in the Premier League felt good. I scored there as well, which is always extra sweet.“For the chance before the goal, I saw Jaidon [Anthony] and I trust my right foot, so for me it looked like a simple pass but it just didn’t work out like that. Obviously I would have done something different.“That’s what it’s like in football and high-level sport, but you can’t let that linger on.“As for the goal, I was never going to cross that! I didn’t know the fans were there otherwise I would have gone straight to them. But Josh Laurent told me they’re there. I thought they’d be higher up, that’s where they usually are in away stadiums.“It was almost like an impossible task, going a goal down at Anfield because they’re a good team. Obviously we wanted to win the game, but to get a point is good as well.”Having to wait for his chance“Everyone has got to think [their chance will come], because it’s a long season with a lot of games. There’s going to be rotation so you know you’re going to get on eventually.“You’ve always got to be prepared, that’s what we train for.”Time at Tottenham“I have nothing but good memories. That’s my childhood, so I remember going to White Hart Lane and watching all the superstars.“Then I went through the academy system, so I’ve got a lot of love for Tottenham.“There was Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Kyle Walker at the time, Christian Eriksen, all of them. To play with Kyle now is a full-circle moment, it’s a bit weird. Scott Parker was playing and then did his coaching badges too.”Relegation fight“The front and centre is staying up, that’s the belief. There’s still loads of games to play, loads of points to play for and loads of head-to-heads.“It’s not just about playing well, the main thing is the results. That’s the focal point.“It’s not that difficult to keep that belief, it’s just one game at a time and three points at a time. Every game is an opportunity to win, so it’s not that difficult.”Continue Reading
