Norwich City tore into Burnley from the off at Carrow Road on Saturday, 29 August 2026, and led 3-1 by the break in a game that finished 4-1. Andre Brooks was at the heart of everything good about Norwich's afternoon, picking up an official rating of 9.5 and looking like the best player on the pitch by some distance. Burnley had spells of control, especially with the ball at their feet for long stretches, but they couldn't turn that into anything like parity on the scoreboard once Norwich found their rhythm. The visitors actually edged the corner count and had their moments going forward, but Norwich made their chances count where it mattered, six shots on target doing the damage. Burnley will point to spurts of pressure and their own six on the board late on, yet this was Norwich's night from start to finish. Three points, a big win at home, and another huge display from Brooks to build the early season around.

Burnley had their moments and did not make it easy from start to finish, but ultimately came up short on the day.

Here is a closer look at exactly how the two sides compared, statistically.
