An erratic Fulham delivers joy for Burnley


Burnley 2, Fulham 1
Turf Moor, Burnley

A showdown seen in all of Premiership circles between both of the league worst defenses, but in the case of Sean Dyche side suddenly experiencing a positive run, but with the prospects of extending their streak. 

With a struggling Fulham that after the arrival of the Emperor Claudio Rainieri, the man so far is looking forward to score another win for his side in order to build up their confidence. 

However, for Burnley suddenly putting a certain distance with two back to back wins in league play and today in Turf Moor in front of their faithful these were looking forward to net another win and move up the table. 

In spite of this being a tough campaign for the Clarets, but after some much needed wins and points in favor suddenly the Clarets are in fifteenth place with 21 points after today’s success their poise is on a roll.

Still this match was decided on pure luck or an erratic and bad day in the field for the visiting Fulham, exposing many problems for their manager Claudio Rainieri with no solution on sight of how his side is sinking deep in the overall table. 

As they say, a win is a win and today the locals Clarets got the best of these struggling Cottagers that in the end with two plays that change the course of this match in spite of the local’s effortless drive to shoot at goal. 

I mean with eleven shoots at goal but none on target, today for Sean Dyche and company these had a field day against a squad looking at any cost to deliver a positive result and in the end, they shooting themselves in the foot. 

With no inhibitions, the visiting Cottagers took the initiative early in the game with a play in midfield a pass sent to a wide-open Andre Schurrle taking a pass from Denis Odoi with just two minutes of game, the visitors went up the score. 

The momentum for the Lilywhites was not to last in the whole course of the game, when a play that many in Turf Moor thought it was a clear penal in favor of Burnley, after a Fulham defender pulls James Tarkowski to the ground. 

As Burnley Jeff Hendrick getting the rebound and sending the ball on the center as the ball meet the feet of the visitors Joe Bryan to put the game even at one goal apiece in the 20’ minute t the joy of the local’s followers. 

As the Republic of Ireland international and indirect hero of the match, Jeff Hendrick played and important role in his side win today and with two shoots intercepted and converted into goals. 

As the second goal came in a counter play, led by Jeff Hendrick and passing to Ashley Barnes in a screen play the ball went on to  the man of the Emerald Isle on his pass that was intercepted by Denis Odoi and going with the lead in the 23’ minute. 

In the end, this win proves the will of these troubled Burnley putting tis efforts together to come out of this nightmarish campaign start, the Clarets started and now these in small steps are looking ahead to their salvation.

This win is shedding a ray of hope for Sean Dyche and his Burnley side looking forward to shake off and avoid any relegation problems that may arise in the course of the championship for his Clarets.
