It was like a flashback – a horrible, horrible flashback.
The Premier League's wooden spoon game was 38 minutes old and Sheffield United were playing well. Ben Brereton Diaz, playing on the left of a 4-4-1-1 out of possession and as a second centre-forward had got on the end of some good chances – Oli McBurnie too – and James McAtee was bright and creative.
A give-and-go with Hamer, playing off McBurnie, released the Chilean again after 18 minutes but, opening up his body to shoot, he was unable to beat Muric. It took 20 minutes for the Clarets to threaten, Lyle Foster redirecting a Vitinho shot at Grbic, and the goalkeeper doing well not to bring down Bruun Larsen, played through by Sander Berge, who could not find the net from the tight angle going around the goalkeeper left him.
