Burnley boss Vincent Kompany admits he's a fan of Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite.

Branthwaite was superb as Everton defeated Burnley on Saturday.

Kompany said: “Full credit to Everton, there were loads of blocked shots. If that kid Branthwaite keeps putting his body on the line like this, I can't keep telling my strikers.

“The kid is sliding across five times and he's doing really well. Tarky is doing a really good job at the backline and they've done that really well.

“Branthwaite is a young defender and sometimes it's important to stay away from the hype a little bit. It's just a really objective analysis of moments where my strikers have done so well and he gets back, sometimes his team-mates get beaten, but he reads the moment to go and cover.

“It's a side of the game that he has that is really promising for the future."
