Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. Burnley FC get us underway at Turf Moor.
  • 5' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Benjamin Mee made 357 appearances and scored 5 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 10' It’s high time Sean Dyche made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 15' Wolverhampton Wanderers FC looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Tawanda Chirewa scoring 1 goals.
  • 20' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 25' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Sean Dyche will be considering his options from the bench.
  • 30' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 35' A goal from the England international Ashley Barnes! He fires home on 35 to make it 1-0!
  • 36' Controversy at the stadium! Ashley Westwood argues furiously but the Yellow card stands.
  • 41' Burnley FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 45' It’s a booking for Wolverhampton Wanderers FC player. Owen Otasowie gets a Yellow card.
  • 50' Wolverhampton Wanderers FC is showing some good football. However, Wolverhampton Wanderers FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 51' Chris Wood makes no mistake. The score reads 2-0 and Burnley FC are in front.
  • 56' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Pedro Neto suffering a number of foals already.
  • 60' The Wolverhampton Wanderers FC bench stirs into life. Rayan Ait Nouri is withdrawn and Adama Traore gets his opportunity.
  • 65' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 69' Erik Pieters is replacing Robbie Brady for the Burnley FC side.
  • 74' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 76' Vitor Ferreira is ready to make an impact after coming on for Ruben Neves at the 76 minute mark.
  • 81' Joao Moutinho, a Portugal , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
  • 82' The crowd applauds Ashley Barnes as he leaves the pitch. Jay Rodriguez steps in for Burnley FC.
  • 87' The Burnley FC manager makes a substitution. Dwight McNeil departs to be replaced by Josh Benson.
  • 89' A stunning finish from Fabio Silva — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 90' It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Jay Rodriguez.
  • Game over. The scoreline of 2-1 tells the full story of an entertaining encounter.
