In a dramatic sequence of events at Turf Moor, Burnley secured a 1-0 lead against Brentford. The game was marked by a series of pivotal moments, starting at the 8th minute when Burnley was awarded a penalty after Vitinho was found in the box and went down after contact. The situation escalated in the 9th minute when Brentford's Sergio Reguilon was sent off for a foul in the penalty area, reducing Brentford to ten men. In the 10th minute, Jacob Bruun Larsen capitalized on the opportunity, converting the penalty and scoring the game's only goal so far. Additionally, the match saw a failed VAR check for a Burnley penalty due to technical issues with the monitor not working and a near own goal from Burnley, saved by the goalkeeper's quick reflexes.
Nearly a comedy own goal from Burnley! Defender mishits pass under pressure, Muric kicks it off the line at full stretch and then quickly gets back up to save a shot from Toney.
Toney sends a header over and wide from the edge of the area. #twitterclarets
