Reo Hatate scores first goal for Burnley in Championship match

Reo Hatate scored his first goal for Burnley during a Championship match against Watford at Vicarage Road on October 10, 2026. The Japanese midfielder opened the scoring in the 25th minute, building on an earlier goal by Jacob Bruun Larsen. Hatate also assisted Bruun Larsen's goal shortly after kickoff, marking a significant improvement after a challenging start to his time in England. This performance comes after Hatate's transfer from Celtic, where he was a key player, and adds much-needed momentum for Burnley, who had struggled without a league win in their first eight matches. His contributions are vital as Burnley seeks to improve its league standing.
