It was a great start to the season for the new manager as his side produced a dominant win away at Huddersfield Town.
The Clarets were superb in the first half as debutant Ian Maatsen gave them an early lead, but they should have scored more in the first half as a manager.
The Terriers failed to register a shot on target in the entire match as they were dominated by the Clarets in the second half.
Twine had a chance to double the lead with five minutes left, but his free-kick hit the post.
After being demoted to the second tier last season, the squad that came into the game was rebuilt.
Ben Mee, James Tarkowski, Wout Weghorst and Nick Pope were some of the experienced players who lost their jobs due to the move toBurnley.
The Clarets brought in a number of new players, including Aro Muric, Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Josh Cullen and Ian Maatsen, as well as a debutant.
The resignation of manager Carlos Corberan and a play-off final loss made for a bad start for the Terriers.
Key players like Lewis O'Brien and Harry Toffolo have left the club, but Danny Schofield was able to call upon a number of players who helped the Terriers reach Wembley.
He also went into the game without centre-back Matty Pearson after the 28-year-old suffered a serious foot injury in last week's pre-season game with the Trotters.
The Clarets should have taken the lead in the beginning. BURNLEY'S most experienced forward took too long as he closed in on goal and Tom Lees slid in and dispossessed him, despite the fact that a new signing set him free.
The Dutch left-back was the first to react to a Barnes mistake and he curled a right-footed shot into the bottom corner.
It should have been 2-0 two minutes later, but Lee Nicholls saved well from Roberts after he broke into the box.
As they dominated possession in the first period and played some delightful football in and around the Terriers' box, it was clear that the influence of Kompany on the team was obvious.
Youngster Costelloe had a great chance to open his account for Burnley, but side-footed an effort wide of the far post after great work down the left by the impressive Maatsen.
It took another seven minutes for the hosts to have a decent effort when Ward fired over from the edge of the box after a mistake by Costelloe.
The night was summed up with two late free-kicks as Twine - a £4m summer signing from League One side Milton Keynes Dons - beautifully curled against the post.
Danny Schofield is the head coach of the Terriers.
The first half I felt we suffered a lot, I thought the Clarets dominated the middle of the pitch by putting a lot of players into the middle.
They were breaking a lot of lines and moving up the pitch.
"In the second half we changed a few things and we competed a lot better, we started matching them in the center of the pitch and we put on a good fight."
"There were some loose passes, there were some first and second balls, the fundamental things which I'd like to see be a little bit better, but it's the first game of the season, it was a tough test againstBurnley, so we'll learn from this
