BurnleyAssists for draw
Florentino Luis assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Liverpool.
Analysis: Luis created a single chance, but that chance proved to be crucial as Marcus Edwards found the back of the net. Luis is a defensively-minded midfielder, so this isn't likely the start of a major goal-contributing run. Still it's a nice boon in a tough trip to Anfield against a stingy Liverpool side.
First Burnley goal contribution
Florentino Luis assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 win against Leeds United.
Analysis: Florentino Luis's pass setup the space for the second Burnley goal as they outlasted Leeds United in a 2-0 home victory. The holding midfielder also contributed three tackles (two won), five clearances, two interceptions and one block to the team's clean sheet effort. Luis has started and played the full 90 minutes in each of Burnley last four Premier League fixtures.
Signs with Burnley on loan
Luis has been loaned to Burnley from Benfica, according to his new club.
Analysis: Luis is seeing a major move in his career as he joins the Premier League on loan for a season, heading to Turf Moor with Burnley. The 26-year-old has plenty of experience, serving in UCL and Europa League while holding a starting spot with Benfica for a few seasons now, a workhorse in the midfield during his career. He will likely push for starting time with Burnley soon after joining and will hope to make a good impression, as the club does hold the option to make the deal permanent.
