SAVE! Brownhill has a corner on the right and plays it short to Assignon, who whips an inviting cross into the box. Vitinho is completely free in the middle, but he cannot get enough power on his header, allowing Grbic to make an easy save. The marking was so poor from the Blades.

Since a 1-0 win against Brentford, United are winless in seven home league games (drawing three and losing four), conceding at least twice in each match. Only twice before has a team conceded two or more goals in eight consecutive Premier League home games – Wolves in 2011-12 (11) and Norwich in 2019 (nine). The Blades are still creating plenty of opportunities to score, but they have no chance of winning if they keep conceding so many goals.

Hamer swings a corner into a compact box, with Trusty and McBurnie both getting around the ball to try and poke it in from close range. However, Burnley work well together to somehow scrabble it away.
