Burnley’s hopes for survival in the Premier League were left hanging by a frustrating draw against Wolves at Turf Moor. The hosts took an early lead through Jacob Bruun Larsen’s goal, but Wolves equalized just before half-time. Despite having chances to secure the win, Burnley couldn’t convert and had to settle for a draw.
Nottingham Forest’s victory combined with Burnley’s draw means they remain in 19th place, six points behind 17th-placed Forest. The lack of consistent wins has been a struggle for Burnley, who have only won one game since December 23rd.
Manager Vincent Kompany was critical of the referee’s decision to award a foul that led to Wolves’ equalizer, expressing his frustration with the officiating standards in the Premier League this season. He stated that “We were dominating the game and we should have been awarded a penalty when Jay Rodriguez was fouled late in the match.”
Burnley will need to regroup and focus on their upcoming matches to try and secure vital points in their quest for survival in the Premier League. With time running out in the season, every point matters for teams fighting to stay in the top flight.
