SHEFF UTD..1

BURNLEY..4

HAMER 52 ❱ B LARSEN 38, ASSIGNON 41, FOSTER 58, GUDMUNDSSON 71

BURNLEY routed Sheffield United for the second time to keep alive their hopes of staying in the Premier League next season and condemn the Blades to almost certain relegation.

Goals from Jacob Bruun Larsen, Lorenz Assignon, Lyle Foster and Johann Berg Gudmundsson gave the visitors an emphatic victory over the leakiest of defences.

The four shipped yesterday made it 88 goals conceded this season. With five games left, they are odds on to run up a century.
