Burnley boost survival hopes with win at Sheff Utd

Lorenz Assignon, who plays as a full-back for Burnley, managed to score his initial goal for the team after joining them in January.

Burnley greatly improved their chances of surviving in the Premier League by securing a crucial win, which puts Sheffield United - who are currently at the bottom of the table - in an even more precarious position and increases the likelihood of their relegation.

Both teams needed to win this game but Kompany's team emerged victorious thanks to their precise goal-scoring abilities. Their win brings them just three points away from securing their safety, while Wilder's team now finds themselves 10 points behind.

During the first half, the Clarets didn't perform as well as their opponents, and they had to rely on Arijanet Muric to make important saves to prevent the other team from scoring. However, they managed to turn things around with two goals in a span of only three minutes.

Jacob Bruun Larsen, who is on loan, scored the first goal of the match at the 38-minute mark. His shot was not very clean, but it hit another player's foot and went in the opposite direction of the goalkeeper, Ivo Grbic, giving him no chance to react. The ball ended up rolling into the net close to the post.

During the upcoming assault, Burnley amplified their lead when full-back Lorenz Assignon successfully maneuvered through the opposition and scored by tapping the ball in with the assistance of goalkeeper Grbic's extended leg and the crossbar.

Muric managed to prevent James McAtee's attempt from hitting the top corner with a remarkable save, however, he had no chance of stopping Gustavo Hamer's elegant shot that curved inside, rekindling Sheffield United's chances.

However, the guests regained their lead by two goals after Lyle Foster smoothly scored with his first touch from Assignon's assist and Johann Berg Gudmundsson, who came off the bench, contributed a magnificent fourth goal for a resounding victory.

Two Keepers' Story

In December, Burnley achieved a 5-0 victory over Sheffield United in the reserve match, causing Paul Heckingbottom to cease his position as manager. This harmful loss appears to be the reason for their imminent downfall in the top-flight.

Last season, both teams moved up from the Championship and Kompany referred to their move into the Premier League as the "most significant" in soccer worldwide. Nevertheless, with four games remaining, his team has managed to boost their chances of keeping their spot by putting up a good fight.

They have only won two times in their last 16 league games. They will pay attention to the match on Sunday at Goodison Park. If Everton triumphs, it means Burnley can keep up with Nottingham Forest who is in seventeenth place.

It could have been a completely different outcome at Bramall Lane if Muric had not played exceptionally well. He redeemed himself after making costly mistakes in the previous two matches against Brighton and the Toffees.

The football player from Kosovo remained focused and made an essential save, preventing Oli McBurnie from scoring up close. He also managed to stop a powerful shot from the opposing team's striker by using only his fingertips.

The goalkeeper from Burnley prevented Brereton Diaz from scoring multiple times. He blocked a header, a one-on-one attempt, and a low shot aimed at the near post.

The team of Sheffield United didn't take advantage of their opportunities and it cost them the game. Grbic didn't perform well since he was slow to respond to Larsen's goal and Assignon's shot was unpredictable, but he couldn't do anything to stop the precise shots from Foster and Gudmundsson.

The team playing away had the opportunity to increase their lead, but unfortunately Josh Brownhill's shot from afar went wide and Johann Berg Gudmundsson hit the post with a powerful shot.
