Impact Tarkowski returned to the XI on Wednesday after recovering from COVID-19 and put in a vital shift defensively to keep a clean sheet and earn what was just Burnley's second home win of the season.

The centre back will probably have much more work coming his way on Oct. 16 when his side visits Manchester City.
