Burnley got their Premier League campaign up and running with a 2-0 win over Sunderland at Turf Moor.
Second-half goals from Josh Cullen and Jaidon Anthony gave the Clarets their first points back in the big time and edge the battle of the promoted teams.
Cullen slotted home just 98 seconds after the Рестартирайте и Антъни вкара гол в последните пет минути.
Бърнли приключи 24 точки пред Съндърланд в шампионата предишния сезон, само че маржът сред двата тима наподобява доста по -близо до този път, тъй че това може да бъде огромна победа. the second tier.
Sunderland were brought back down to earth after a memorable Premier League return last weekend against West Ham and they could see this as a missed opportunity after wasting some early chances.
They had looked to pick up where they left off against the Hammers and should have scored inside four minutes as Dan Ballard’s header from a set-piece was perfect for Reinildo Mandava to turn in at the far post but he shot straight at a grateful Martin Dubravka.
The visitors had another good chance when Chemsdine Talbi was played in by Simon Adingra but he clipped wide.
It was Burnley who had the ball in the back of the net in the 19th minute when Lyle Foster crashed home but the celebrations were short-lived after referee Michael Salisbury adjudged the striker to have fouled Jenson Seelt.
Action Action изсъхна доста до края на първото полувреме, само че Бърнли пое преднина единствено 98 секунди след рестарта.
Умният вибриране на Антъни отвори нещата за Кълън и той поставя напъните на 16-ярда в долния ъгъл.
Cullen's Lit Up Turf More began flashing in random patterns, causing a four-minute delay.
Sunderland threw bodies forward in an attempt to get something out of the game but they failed to test Dubravka.
And it left them exposed as Burnley killed the game in the 88th minute, with Anthony racing clear from Cullen’s brilliant through ball, rounding Sunderland goalkeeper Robin Roefs and slamming into an empty нета.
Това беше съвсем три, защото Loum Tchaouna пасеше обявата с късни старания, само че работата на Бърнли беше свършена.
