Transcript

00:00 Leaving here at Turf Moor here following another disappointing day for Burnley.

00:06 They won one draw, not the result they needed.

00:09 The way it happened, the way it transpired, it's difficult to know what more to say really.

00:15 Burnley are finding new ways to shoot themselves in the foot and throw priceless points away.

00:22 Played well, it was a tight game but I thought Burnley probably edged it.

00:27 Got the lead, a moment of luck, something they probably deserve really.

00:31 Josh Brownhill, the sub, charged down a week back pass similar to the empty goal last week really with Muirich.

00:37 Brownhill charged down the rugging, ricocheted it into the back of the empty net.

00:45 That was I think the 75th, 76th minute around that time.

00:48 You think you're right Burnley, just hold on now, three points.

00:51 With Forrest, joined 2-2 at home to Wolves.

00:54 If they'd held on, the gap now would be four points.

00:58 With a game against Sheffield United next weekend that would have made things interesting.

01:02 But literally four or five minutes later an absolute horror moment for Muirich.

01:06 Second mistake in as many games now.

01:09 Just a routine back pass from Sanderberg, he wasn't at fault.

01:13 Just goes under Muirich's foot into the back of the net.

01:18 Just gets the technique completely wrong, goes with the top of his boot rather than the side step.

01:22 After that he looked like he'd almost lost his head.

01:26 It's been that sort of season hasn't it, where everything that could go wrong, has gone wrong.

01:33 The gap to safety stays at six points with only five games remaining now.

01:38 Time's really running out for the two companies now.
