Burnley staged a dramatic comeback to secure a 2-2 draw against Fulham in a closely contested match. Chelsea loanee David Datro Fofana played a pivotal role, scoring both goals for Burnley. The equalizer came in the 91st minute when Fofana, making his debut, headed in from Lorenz Assignon’s cross, taking advantage of a misjudgment by Fulham’s goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

Fofana’s scuffed shot in front of Tim Ream sealed the comeback and earned Burnley a crucial point in their battle for survival. Fulham had initially taken the lead with goals from Joao Palhinha and Rodrigo Muniz in the first half, presenting a challenging situation for Vincent Kompany’s side. Despite the setback, Burnley fought back, and Fofana’s impact off the bench proved decisive.

The draw leaves Burnley seven points adrift of safety, facing upcoming challenges against Liverpool and Arsenal. Fulham, on the other hand, maintains a seven-point cushion above the relegation zone. Armando Broja, another Chelsea loanee, made his debut for Fulham following his deadline-day switch.
