Burnley 1 Hull City 1 A last gasp Robert Snodgrass free kick denied the Clarets after Steven Defour looked to have won it with a worldie!
|
Belgian international Defour struck 17 minutes from time with his first goal for the club, following a magnificent turn and run at goal from the half way line. But with virtually the last kick of the game, Snodgrass struck to level matters and break Burnley hearts. Clarets’ record signing Jeff Hendrick was named among the substitutes, after spending just two days training with his new team mates. But there was a first start for Icelandic summer signing Johann Berg Gudmundsson, who replaced Scott Arfield. However, it was a lively start from the visitors and Tom Heaton needed to be alert in the ninth minute to parry away an 18-yeard effort from Abel Hernandez, who looked to find the bottom corner with placement rather than power. An almighty scramble from Burnley’s first corner, which saw two George Boyd shots blocked, signalled the hosts’ immediate intent. And when Gudmundsson’s far post volley was deflected out into the path of Stephen Ward with 25 minutes on the clock, the Republic of Ireland full back’s audacious attempt from outside the box flew inches over.

Yes there is you MORON
If we hadn't beaten Leyton Orient on the 9th of May in the year of 1987,we probably wouldn't be where we are now.
Of course,you would say that wasn't a must win game.
MORON!!!

"It's as bad as the nonsense "a good start to the season is a must".
Apart from the fact that Dyche, Heaton and Mee all saying recently that our bad start last time cost us our place in the Prem.

What's the forecast for Saturday then mate ? I'm saying nowt, as you know I can't get it right even at half-time, so I've no chance on a Tuesday night.

There most certainly ARE must win games.
Wembley 2009... no win and we were insolvent... admin beckoned
I rest my case

In some ways this IS a "must win" game - for morale, self-confidence, self-belief, contentment with a "successful" transfer window - beating Hull will give the Clarets' squad a boost that will last them a couple of months. Quote:morninbob
He's good at doing that Dyche, playing down a disappointment, he will have been raging inside.
