Resurgent Wolves pile more misery on Burnley
LONDON: Wolverhampton Wanderers came from behind to snatch a 2-1 Championship win on Friday and pile more misery on Burnley whose winless run at home extended to a year.
Wolverhampton Wanderers staged a remarkable comeback to defeat Burnley 2-1 in a Championship match on Friday, extending Burnley's home winless streak to a record 21 games. Jamie Vardy scored the opening goal for Burnley after just 20 minutes, marking his first goal at Turf Moor. However, injuries to Wolves hindered their ability to convert their early dominance into more goals.
Burnley's captain Kyle Walker's mistake led to an equalizer six minutes before halftime when Fer Lopez scored. Tawanda Chirewa scored a late winner for Wolves just seconds after coming on as a substitute. Burnley's last home win in the league came against Leeds on October 18 of the previous year. Their current winless run at home now stands at 21 games.
The two teams last met on the final day of the 2025-26 season, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Burnley sits just above the relegation zone in the Championship, while Wolves are currently sixth. Burnley's next home game is against Portsmouth, followed by a match against Blackburn on November 22.
