Goals from Jacob Bruun Larsen, Lorenz Assignon, Lyle Foster and Johann Berg Gudmundsson sealed a 4-1 win at Bramall Lane to give Burnley fresh hope
Chris Wilder has taken to describing this season as “painful” but it turned positively agonising as Burnley inflicted more deep wounds on his Championship-bound
Given this pair had kept only three clean league sheets between them all season, goals seemed inevitable. The only surprise was that Bramall Lane needed to wait 38 minutes for a defence to fracture. Yet once Sheffield United’s rearguard did splinter, two arrived inside an awful three-minute spell for Ivo Grbic.
Oli McBurnie should really have opened the scoring in the ninth minute but the Sheffield United striker placed his shot too close to Arijanet Muric who, nonetheless made a fine save. Muric also did well to tip another McBurnie effort over the bar following Gustavo Hamer’s defence-bisecting pass. By then though the power balance had begun shifting Burnley’s way. And particularly in midfield.
