Dean Ing scores twice in first pre-season win for Squires Gate at AFC Burnley

Action from Squires Gate's victory over AFC Burnley in Accrington

First friendlies for Gate and AFC Blackpool

Following Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Poulton FC, Gate sported their new away kit for the first time, sponsored by Open Recruitment Limited.

After a slow start, Gate grew into the game and scored the only goal of the first half through a triallist.

He rounded the keeper from a pass by Ryan Riley, who went close himself as he hit the post from a Jake Higham corner.

After multiple changes at half-time, Gate had some defending to do after the restart and Jordan Gidley pulled off a fine double save from close range.

Gate doubled their lead when Dean Ing found the bottom right corner after some free-flowing link-up play with Jack Iley.

Burnley didn’t give up but Gate sealed victory in the final 15 minutes as left-back Higham rocketed a shot into the bottom corner with his weaker foot.

Higham then set up a second for Ing, sliding the ball through after a burst down the left.
