Fans hail what ‘class act’ Vincent Kompany did after Burnley star taunted hated rivals with inflatable trophy

FANS have lavished praise on Burnley boss Vincent Kompany for his gesture to rival fans.

The Clarets celebrated winning the Championship on Tuesday after beating Blackburn 1-0 at Ewood Park.

And while most of the players soaked up the adoration from the 2,000 travelling fans, Josh Brownhill had other ideas.

The midfielder got hold of an inflatable cup and began lifting it in front of rival Blackburn supporters.

Kompany responded by pulling Brownhill away and apologised for his actions by holding up his hand.

Fans applauded Kompany’s behaviour and appreciated the respect he showed.

One reacted by saying: “Pure class.”

Another added: “Fair play from Kompany there ”

A third said: “Love that from Kompany.”

And another commented: “Class act.”
