Lyle Foster came off the bench and scored a dramatic last-minute winner as Burnley took the lead 3–2. Premier League win far down the road wolves,
It has been six months since the hosts last won 3-0 in the league leicester – and for the first time this campaign his wait continued as he scored a late goal for the fourth consecutive game.
The game had the feel of an early season ‘six-pointer’ to this campaign’s relegation battle and Burnley quickly felt the tension in the air at Wolves.
They took a reasonable two-goal lead courtesy of Gian Fleming’s first pair of Premier League goals, both assisted by Kwilinski Hartmann.
The Clarets looked comfortable but the hosts equalized thanks to Jorgen Strand Larsson’s penalty and Marshall Munetsi’s first goal of the campaign.
Scott Parker’s side had taken a two-goal lead early on, which looked like it would deny them a first win on the road, until Foster scored in the fifth and final minute of second-half stoppage-time.
Strand Larsson and the Wolves boss Victor Perera After the final whistle he went to the fans and started chanting “You don’t deserve to wear the shirt” and “Sack him in the morning” while pointing at the players and Pereira from the stands.
wolves goalkeeper Sam Johnstone Brought into action right from the start and he made a diving save to turn away Josh Cullen’s goal-bound volley.
Axel Tuanzebe’s carelessness on the ball almost gave the home team the lead – at the other end – as he was picked out by Jhon Arias, who raced on goal but sent his final product straight at Martin Dubravka.
Burnley scored the first goal with the easiest goal.
Hartmann sent a routine long ball over the top which Fleming read perfectly and saw the ball come over his shoulder before connecting with a smart volley into the bottom corner.
A thunderous noise echoed around Molineux as Burnley doubled their advantage on the half-hour mark.
Another long ball over the top proved to be Wolves’ downfall as Hartman latched onto Cullen’s high pass on the byline and he sent a low cross across the face of goal to Fleming, who was waiting to tap in his second of the afternoon.
Wolves were clearly second best in the first period, but their opponents offered them an olive branch to get back into the contest when Cullen brought down Santiago Bueno inside the box.
Referee Tony Harrington pointed to the penalty spot and Strand Larsson was the best man inside Molineux as he sent Dubravka the wrong way to halve the deficit with his first goal for the season.
The fighting spirit was not gone and Wolves counter-attacked and scored an equalizer on the stroke of half-time.
Ladislav Krzyński deflected Jean-Ricner Bellegarde’s cross into the path of Munetsi and he was able to head the ball past Dubravka.
The woodwork prevented Wolves from taking the lead as Arias saw his free-kick beat the diving Dubravka but crash wide of the upright and away from danger.
Wolves pushed Burnley deeper in search of the winner – Dubravka was forced to make some saves to deny Strand Larsson’s header and Bellegarde’s thunderous strike.
The visitors snatched all three points at the death as Hannibal Mejbri slipped past Foster and guided his finish beyond Johnstone as boos rang out around Molineux.
