Roses games between Burnley and Sheffield Wednesday are rarely predictable affairs.Just once in 15 meeting had the home side won; a sequence that was extended after Sam Vokes 12th goal of the season was cancelled out by Chris Maguire.
Vokes struck three minutes before the break after the Clarets dominated the opening 45 minutes. But Maguire earned a precious point for the Owls on the stroke of half time with a close-range effort. Sean Dyche named an unchanged side to the team that beat Yeovil Town 2-1 at Huish Park. And the Clarets started well, with Keith Treacy heavily involved against the club he joined on loan last season. And in the 11th minute the winger was a whisker away from opening the scoring as Burnley carved out the first opportunity. Vokes’ header fell behind the last man and when Ings attempted chip over Chris Kirkland caught a glance off the keeper, Treacy was on hand, only for Glenn Loovens to knee his goalbound effort towards an open net for a corner. At the other end it took a perfectly timed tackle eight yards from goal from David Jones to deny Kieran Lee a certain goal. To read the full match report please click on the link below; |
