Burnley 1 Brighton 2

Brighton fightback spoils homecoming party as fast-starting Clarets finish empty-handed The Clarets welcomed back the fans but it didn’t prove a happy homecoming to Turf Moor as Brighton hit back to take the points on the opening day.

 A buoyant atmosphere was further lifted when James Tarkowski gave Sean Dyche’s men the lead after just minutes.

 And a superb first-half performance suggested the supporters who had waited since March, 2020 to return in their numbers would be celebrating a landmark day.

 But Burnley couldn’t turn their superiority into a bigger lead as the woodwork twice denied them before the break.

 And unable to maintain their lofty standards throughout the second half, the Clarets were punished twice in the space of five minutes as the Seagulls plundered the points and left Burnley still searching for first home success since January.

 The Clarets couldn’t have made a better start as they did their best to make up for the fans’ lost time.

 Brighton were pushed back right from the start and having forced a couple of corners, Burnley made the pressure count as Tarkowski powered his way to the back post to head home Ashley Westwood’s corner.

 A quick VAR check confirmed no foul on Neal Maupay as the Brighton man was brushed aside and the Clarets were up and running.

Same old same old, just cannot score hit post and bar, relying on the defenders to score the goals, not good enough, oh well it's only Liverpool next. (Sm147)

Poor tactics by Sean. Dwight was being caught out down our left side and not tracking back. He should have been subbed earlier or Brownhill should have been brought on for Jay instead of Barnes, to play on the right, JBG moved to the left and Dwight moved into the middle.
