Hjalmar Ekdal admits mixed feelings after Burnley debut

Burnley midfielder Hjalmar Ekdal had mixed feelings after playing his first game from the start in the Premier League.

The newly promoted club fell to fellow relegation battlers Wolves on Tuesday night.

While Ekdal was not happy with the result, the defender was pleased to get his chance to shine.

Post-game, he told club media: "I'm disappointed for sure.

“We lose this game in a way which we have seen before a little bit maybe, when they punish us for a mistake. So, yes, it's kind of bad."

He then added: "We did do well with our performance. We could have punished them as well I think, when they give us a chance in the first half. Traff's made some saves as well but in the whole picture I think the performance is good.

"Like we've seen the last couple of games, I think we're on the right track and it's just a matter of time before we get the points as well."
