In a historic clash at Turf Moor, Jay Rodriguez etched his name in the record books by scoring the fastest goal in Premier League history, within 15 seconds. The veteran striker’s early strike set the tone for Burnley’s remarkable performance, lifting them off the bottom of the table. Vincent Kompany’s side displayed relentless attacking prowess, leaving Sheffield United in disarray.
Ollie McBurnie’s second yellow card just before halftime further compounded Sheffield United’s misery, reducing them to ten men. The Blades struggled to contain Burnley’s relentless attacks, ultimately losing by five goals. Burnley, previously winless in their opening seven games, now finds a glimmer of hope in their fight against relegation.
Sander Berge faced jeers from Burnley fans for his £15M move, but the Norwegian midfielder delivered a standout performance, providing stability to Kompany’s young squad. The implosion continued for Sheffield United, with Jacob Bruun Larsen doubling Burnley’s lead. McBurnie’s red card sealed their fate, and Burnley capitalized with goals from Amdouni, Koleosho, and skipper Josh Brownhill in the final 17 minutes. Paul Heckingbottom’s job is now on shaky ground as Sheffield United finds themselves second from the bottom.
