With the clock deep into stoppage time and the tension at Molineux thick enough to cut with a knife, Foster delivered a moment of pure magic. His 95th-minute strike wasn’t just a goal — it was a lifeline, a statement, and a spark that reignited Burnley’s belief on the road.

But Foster’s influence stretched far beyond that dramatic finish. From the first whistle, he was a constant menace — pressing high, linking play, and dragging defenders out of position. His movement created space for Zian Flemming to bag a first-half brace, and his relentless energy set the tone for Burnley’s aggressive approach.

Even as Wolves clawed their way back to 2-2 before the break, Foster never faded. He remained a livewire, always looking to exploit gaps and push the tempo. And when the moment came — with the game hanging in the balance — he was there, calm and clinical, to bury the winner and send the away end into raptures.

The celebration said it all: Foster sprinting toward the fans, arms wide, before being engulfed by teammates — including a jubilant Martin Dúbravka who raced the length of the pitch to join the pile-on. It was a snapshot of unity, passion, and belief.

Scott Parker’s side showed resilience to weather the Wolves’ comeback, but it was Foster’s fire that ultimately lit the way. On a night when Burnley needed a hero, he stepped up — and then some.
