When the ball came to the captain, after some really nice team build up, including a deft flick on from Jaidon Anthony, the captain made sure to find the net. Just minutes into the second half, you could feel the collective wave of relief roll around Turf Moor.
There has been some trepidation on this return to the Premier League from Burnley fans, their last time here was not for the faint hearted. Would they find enjoyment in the top flight this season? Today they certainly did, with Cullen and Anthony lifting fans from their seats.
Scott Parked told me he breathed a big sigh of relief as Anthony latched onto Cullen's pass late on to wrap all three points. Jaidon Anthony too admitted that goal felt so important on the pitch, with Sunderland pressing for an equaliser. It calmed the nerves round Turf Moor and sent the fans away happy.
This place was a fortress in the Championship, Parker's aim is to bring that, and some goals to it, this Premier League season. Today was a sign that it's possible, this time round.

Image source, Getty ImagesIt is strange to think that a game so early in the season might be so crucial but, for Burnley, there was no denying the importance of this one.
On paper, a home game against a side they finished 24 points clear of in the Championship last season would have been viewed as perhaps their most winnable of the season.
Defeat at Spurs last weekend was not unexpected but while the club may be braced for a relegation battle, ensuring it is seen as a battle rather than an inevitability is vital and the value of an early home win cannot be overstated.
For all that Scott Parker's men made most of the running in the first half, they created precious little, while allowing Sunderland two very presentable chances.
But they came out for the second half with far more energy and ran out thoroughly deserved winners, making the most of the two real chances they created while blunting Sunderland's limited attacking threat in the spell prior to the game-clinching second goal.
It is just three points but given the doom and gloom that may have followed a loss, this result allows Burnley the chance to exhale and build their way into the campaign.
Scott Parker spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Burnley's victory against Sunderland: "This is a massive three points for us.
"We knew the challenge ahead of us today against a good side coming off the back of a very good result. We were well worthy of the three points, which is pleasing.
"We have been very comfortable in those positions. Our structure was very good, I felt vert comfortable but in this division you never know, always fine margins. It was a bit of relief when the second goal went in.
"A lot of new players. It is positive today because we got a result. It is a big confidence for us as well. We need to keep working.
"We need to make this place exactly like it was today. Our home stadium will be massively important for us and the fans will play an important part in that."

Burnley kept their first clean sheet in their last 22 Premier League games since a 2-0 win at Fulham in December 2023, and first in 12 at Turf Moor in the division since beating Sheffield United 5-0 in December 2023.

I wrote Sunderland off months ago at the end of last season, but they surprised me last week with a hell of a win against West Ham.
Those two headers from Eliezer Mayenda and Dan Ballard were absolutely brilliant and they deserved their victory.
Burnley had their moments against Tottenham but they didn't take them. They will need to get a foothold in this season sooner rather than later.
This one stinks of a draw. I think it'll be close and Burnley will want more, but Sunderland will be satisfied with their start.
Sutton's prediction: 1-1
Jordan Butler
BBC Sport journalist
The first meeting between newly promoted sides takes place this weekend with Burnley and Sunderland experiencing contrasting fortunes during the first round of matches.
Burnley's impressive 100-point promotion campaign was largely underpinned by two key principles – a near-perfect home record and a watertight defence.
The Clarets conceded just 16 goals in 46 Championship games last term but shipped three in an afternoon on their Premier League return last Saturday. Scott Parker's side performed admirably at Tottenham despite the defeat, and the 3-0 scoreline perhaps flattered their hosts.
A return to Lancashire provides a fresh opportunity for Burnley to open their Premier League account and they were unbeaten on home soil last season, with 14 wins and nine draws from their 23 matches at Turf Moor in 2024-25.
Burnley's first home match of 2024-25 was a 5-0 thrashing of Cardiff City, and although a similar result would be welcomed by all connected to the club, it doesn't appear likely. The team were wasteful in north London on Saturday and failed to take any of the 12 chances they created.
Fan favourite Ashley Barnes was not involved at Spurs but the 35-year-old is the top Premier League scorer in the squad with a respectable 42 goals.
He is also their only current player to reach double figures in the division. The next nearest to his total are Armando Broja and Kyle Walker with eight apiece. Last season's 18-goal top scorer Josh Brownhill has also departed the club and so the simple question remains: where are Burnley's goals going to come from?
Finding the net was not a problem for Sunderland on the opening day as they put three unanswered goals past West Ham at a pulsating Stadium of Light.
It was their first victory in the opening month of a top-flight campaign for 15 years and although the club have made 12 signings, Saturday's three scorers all featured heavily in last season's promotion campaign, a fact that head coach Regis le Bris was quick to recognise.
"They showed they can step up today," he said after the match. "They are really important because they keep the identity of the club and the way we worked last season."
The Black Cats could now win their opening two matches of a top-flight season for the first time since 1980-81. They avoided relegation on the final day of that campaign 44 years ago, and three points here would provide a big boost to their chances of survival before the summer is even over.
Burnley boss Scott Parker has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Sunderland at Turf Moor (kick-off 15:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Parker confirmed Axel Tuanzebe and Bashir Humphreys are both back in training, while Armando Broja is now "another week down the line" and all are "edging to be involved at the weekend".
The Burnley boss felt there were "lots of positives" and "a lot of learnings" for the team to take from their 3-0 defeat by Tottenham on the opening weekend as they are "a young squad" and "still learning things".
On if it is easy to park and move on from that result now: "Yes, definitely. It was our mantra last year and will be this year. Football moves very quickly, psychologically it moves quickly. We can't spend days thinking about it. There is a need to reflect and have a ruthless assessment at times, face up to that and adopt an attitude of how and where we need to improve."
On how much business he is expecting the club to do over the next 10 days: "Hoping to do something if we can. There are different variables that come in this time of year. There are elements in our squad we want to try and improve but I know that is difficult. Regarding outgoings, there will be some players moving to lighten us with a heavy squad."
Parker does not feel Saturday's game is a must-win but thinks the fans will be "vital" this weekend and for the season. He added: "There will be bumpy times and adversity but I feel the fans can help this young team and spur us on, and I know they will be behind us through thick and thin and good and bad."
On what he expects facing fellow promoted side Sunderland: "A good side. A totally different team to the one we faced last year. They have brought in a lot of players, recruited well. I don't think anything has changed fundamentally in the structure, but personnel has changed and they have brought in added quality. Coming off a good result at home, but this is our first home game and a game we are looking forward to."
Burnley have secured 13 permanent transfers this summer in a bid to survive in the Premier League, with sources suggesting that will be that unless a deal appears that they cannot resist.
Key defender Maxime Esteve has been the subject of interest, so if any late offers come in manager Scott Parker is likely to seek out a replacement.
The Clarets have also been dealt a blow in that area after Jordan Beyer, suffered a setback following 19 months out with a knee injury, so Parker will be weighing up that option carefully.

Adam Cottier
BBC Radio Lancashire reporter
Burnley appear to have taken some risks in the market in recent times and not all of them have proved worthwhile.
Judging by what you have been sending in to us via our 'Ask about Burnley' form, the question for the Clarets appears to be not what they spend but how well they spend it.
Kyle Walker and Martin Dubravka look like shrewd, low-risk acquisitions given their rich experience, but past transfer windows have indicated Burnley are too often left with no return on their investment and that needs to stop.
There are several cases in point. Take, for example, Zeki Amdouni and Mike Tresor.
Before Lesley Ugochukwu and Armando Broja arrived this summer, they were the players Burnley had spent the most on.
Tresor has made one substitute appearance since making a loan permanent two summers ago. Amdouni made the last of his 27 starts for the club in May 2024 and was sent on loan to Benfica last season.
For two players who reportedly cost more than £30m combined, they simply have not appeared to be worthwhile signings.
Michael Obafemi is another. Burnley paid a seven-figure sum for him two years ago after a loan spell. He is yet to start a league game.
Given his recent injury record, some observers will now look at Broja as a risk. But with inflated fees across the board, PSR rules and a tricky market to navigate, it may turn out to be a productive, cost-effective move should he sustain his fitness.
Burnley need him to be a success where others who have been recruited to enhance the attack in recent years have fallen short.
It is not always about the amount of money a club spends.

The 22-year-old collected the award after helping Burnley to promotion last season, amassing an incredible 29 clean sheets in 45 matches and conceding only 16 goals.
Trafford was also named in the Championship team of the year for his outstanding campaign at Turf Moor.
"I'm very proud to collect these awards and of what we achieved last season," he said. "We consistently put in really good defensive performances and it was great to have been a part of that.
"I loved my time at Burnley and improved massively as a goalkeeper and as a person. I am hoping to take all that into the new season now with Manchester City and looking forward to continuing my footballing journey."

Image source, Getty ImagesAnd that, my friends, is where you have it.
The main difference between EFL Championship success, and Premier League survival. You must take your chances.
It was a shaky start for the Clarets, the occasion and newness of the league seemingly weighing on young shoulders. Perhaps they simply didn't expect to get anything from the game, and perhaps those expectations were right, but if you execute your moves even a couple of seconds too slow then you will get punished at this level.
The Premier League has world class, ruthless strikers in it. Burnley do not. And the second and third goals were scored in periods when the Clarets were genuinely threatening.
Which is not to disrespect the likes of Zian Flemming, Lyle Foster and Ashley Barnes of course. There will be games they compete in this season and score goals in. But the opening game was a reminder that the gap in quality in this league is deafening, and we need Armando Broja fit and hungry as soon as possible.
So that's the bad. Any good at all? Well, yes, actually.
Kyle Walker and Martin Dubravka showing the exact sort of class and experience they were brought in for. A side who still grew into the game despite the mountainous task ahead of them and chances that were still created.
It's a cliche, but it is still true: Burnley's survival will not depend on a loss away at Spurs.
My only other irritant from the game? Dubravka became the first goalkeeper to be penalised for the new eight second rule. Because of course he was...

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Tottenham and Burnley.
Here are some of your comments:
Tottenham fans
David: Amazing game - it was really nice to see the ball run so smoothly. I never really thought much of Richarlison, but now it looks like he is bound to have an amazing season. Go Thomas the Frank Engine! Choo choo!
John: Good win and nice to get three goals - even better not to concede any. The team looks like a unit that knows what its doing, playing like a proper team. Frank knows what he's doing.
Neil: A good start - three points and three goals plus a double for Richie - who, if he stays mentally and physically fit, will be a bonus. A lot still to work on for Frank, but after losing all those games last season, it was nice not to be worried all match.
Iain: Great win, but don't get too excited because there's another 37 league games to go. Frank's trust in Richarlison paid off and was, by a long way, the outstanding player, with Mohammed Kudus deserving applause for his performance too. Manchester City away next week will be a better test for Spurs' players. But football is a funny old game, so who knows!
Brian: Still a small sample size, but it is interesting to see how more or less the same squad as last year can look so robust, as if they are now playing with their whole bodies rather than just their feet. The best of the Ange era was still on display with Johnson's goal, but that was the icing, not the cake. Great start!
Phil: While it was a good start to the league, we were very lucky again. Just like the Europa League final. Attack was good but, yet again, very shoddy in defence - hence good luck needed.
Burnley fans
Chris: No surprises, but no worries - it's the Premier League isn't it. Just keep focused and don't panic. Great manager and keen squad to succeed. It will take time.
Jonathon: We weren't as bad as the scoreline shows but this is the Premier League. We can't afford to leave players free in the box when we have five at the back. We need attackers with actual quality as well. I feel like it's going to be worse than the Kompany season. Maybe I'm overreacting...
Alan: Crushed. I hoped Burnley would get a positive result, but it is the manner of the loss that is so disheartening. Defensive set-up beaten after 12 minutes and no way back. Another long season with nothing but disappointment to look forward to.
Paul: Judging from that, it's going to be a very long season. We simply do not have a credible goal threat. That will make attacking us easy for other teams. If we do not beat Sunderland at home next week we will find ourselves stranded at the foot of the table. And that will be that.
Tad: Last year, it took us until Christmas for the new players to gel together and understand the the manager's style. Thereafter, we looked unstoppable. And the starting XI did at least look like they'd played together before. The difference between the Championship and the Premier League is that you at least pick up points in the former while you're gelling. Whereas here...

Michael Emons
BBC Sport journalist
Image source, Getty ImagesLast season the three relegated Premier League teams were the trio that had come up the season before - Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton - while Burnley have either won promotion to the top flight or been relegated out of it in each of the past four seasons.
Tottenham away in their opening match of the campaign always looked a tough task for Scott Parker, against the side for whom he spent two years as a player - and it proved to be a miserable return for him and defender Kyle Walker, who played for Spurs for seven years.
The Clarets picked up 100 points in the second tier last year as they came second in the Championship, but their main strength was in defence as they kept 30 clean sheets.
James Trafford kept 29 of them but has since moved to Manchester City, with former Newcastle keeper Martin Dubravka beaten only 10 minutes into his Burnley debut.
But Parker will be encouraged by how his side performed when 1-0 down and will feel annoyed his side were not awarded a penalty at the end of the first half, when Jaidon Anthony looked to be clumsily bundled to the ground by Pedro Porro.
Parker was furious his side did not get the decision, but as soon as Burnley conceded their second goal - something they did not do in any of their 46 league matches in 2024-25 - the game was beyond them and it became a matter of trying to keep the score down.
