FULL-TIME: Derby County 1 Burnley 2
5:03pm Saturday 27th August 2011 in Burnley FC match reports
AUSTIN POWERS Burnley’s Charlie Austin scores his first
CHARLIE Austin was at the double to earn Burnley their first Championship win of the season, ending Derby's 100 per cent start.
The former Swindon striker hit the woodwork with a header in a goalless first half but made up it with two crucial goals after the break.
The 22-year-old put the Clarets in front in the 50th minute, benefiting from Keith Treacy's hard work and determination to score his fourth goal in six appearances.
Treacy robbed Kevin Kilbane of possession and shrugged off the back-tracking defender's challenge to cut the ball back for Austin to finish.
Derby equalised through half-time substitute Theo Robinson, who was able to tap in John Brayford's centre.
That sparked Derby into life and Robinson deservedly equalised in the 71st minute when the lively Craig Bryson drilled the ball across and the substitute applied the finishing touch from point blank range.
At that stage, Derby looked set to go on and win it but Burnley were back in front three minutes later when Frank Fielding could not hold a swerving 25-yard shot from Ross Wallace and Austin pounced on the loose ball.
He should have scored again when Jay Rodriguez set him up.
Chris McCann almost wrapped it up with his third Pride Park goal in his last three visits but Fielding tipped over the captain's dipping volley.
Although the referee played eight minutes of stoppage time, Derby could not break through and Fielding denied Dean Marney another Burnley goal seconds before the end.

Unlucky our Charlie not to get his hatrick, but he will this season i've no doubt.
Well done lads a well earned and entertaining win.
Derby, you need to change your brand of coffee, pss weak!
Bstrds, thankyou once again for being so sht. Paddy Power is going to fall out with me if this keeps up. An additional £28 profit to add to the kitty with Everton @ 7/5. This strategy of betting against the bstrds has now made me 20% towards next seasons ticket and they're only 3 games into their season.
Bottom of the prem. no wins. no points. no hope. Happy Days!
Howe tha lads

Concentrate on yesterday's debacle and try to digest it without coming on here annoying decent folk with your bitter bluenose bile! King Kenny? Isn't he the Liverpool boss? By the way, I'm not a catholic, not even religious but I plan a trip to my local diocese to propose Steve Kean for canonization!! What a man! Suck it up blackbummer!
Howe the lads? And your a dingle? I think we are crap but f**k me we will always be better than you lot. More than likely come down but you will not be coming up. So poss 6 points next year. But I wouldnt hold my breath of us coming down. Just realised "howe the lads prob comes from your sister being a geordie and you coming from burnley, bred them together............

I still cover my eyes when the opposition head into our box as I'm still not confident In the defence.
Having said that young Easton Is getting better and better having a decent run of games which I think If Edgar get's the same sort of run will benefit him too and show us what he really can do.The Beast back In goal too was great to see.
Going forward we look good creating chances but yet again we are not sticking enough of them away but with the woodwork saving Derby a couple of times maybe, just maybe that is going to change.
We still need some new signings in by the end of the window as we are a little thin on the ground In numbers, defenders and I still feel a midfielder Is required.
By the way on another note have you seen all the flack that shower of S**T down the road are giving their poor manager!
Why I ask myself! He Is doing a fantastic job guiding them to 3 straight defeats. Keano I think your going to be the next Sir Alex Ferguson and those Chicken Poaching owners deserve a pat on the back and give you all the support you deserve.
Great defeat .
UTC.

'And your a dingle?' - I am Burnley born and bred. Not ashamed to say it even though the area has its faults, it also has its good points. If your a pratt you will no doubt write some pathetic comment but if your anywhere near normal you would know this applies to many places in England.
.
'I think we are crap' - At least we agree on one point.
.
'but f**k me we will always be better than you lot' - A matter of opinion, one which I don't happen to agree with.
.
'More than likely come down' - That's two points we agree on. Not much faith in your team have you?
.
'but you will not be coming up.' - Again that is a matter of opinion which I don't agree on.
.
'So poss 6 points next year.' - Might as well be next year coz at this rate you won't get that many this season.
.
'But I wouldnt hold my breath of us coming down.' - Oh please do coz if its anything like your posts it will stink!.
.
'Just realised "howe the lads prob comes from your sister being a geordie and you coming from burnley, bred them together...' - I think you need to re-read what you've written here, it just doesn't make sense. Much like you.
.
So we agree on 2 points and dis-agree on 2. If that's all you had to say then I'll leave it here and i'll go and enjoy my Sunday dinner.
Howe tha lads.

Good 3 pts.I missed radio interview with Kilby. Did anyone ask him where all the parachute cash and money from outgoing players, such as Fletcher, Eagles and Fox has disappeared to?
