Lyle Foster nets dramatic late winner as Burnley edge sorry Wolves

Lyle Foster came off the bench and scored a dramatic last-minute winner as Burnley snatched a 3-2 Premier League victory away to bottom side Wolves.

It marked six months to the day since the hosts last won in the league – a 3-0 win over Leicester – and their wait for a first this campaign continued as they let in a late goal for the fourth game in a row.

The game had a feel of an early season ‘six-pointer’ for this campaign’s relegation battle and Burnley sensed the tension in the air at Wolves early on.

They pounced into a deserved two-goal lead courtesy of Zian Flemming’s first pair of Premier League goals, both assisted by Quilindschy Hartman.

The Clarets looked comfortable but the hosts made it a level game out of nowhere thanks to Jorgen Strand Larsen’s penalty and Marshall Munetsi’s first of the campaign.

Scott Parker’s side initially surrendered a two-goal lead, which looked like it would deny them a first victory on the road until Foster struck in the fifth and final minute of second-half stoppage-time.

Strand Larsen and Wolves boss Vitor Pereira went over to the fans following the final whistle and chants of “you’re not fit to wear the shirt” and “sacked in the morning” belted down from the stands, directed at the players and Pereira.

Wolves goalkeeper Sam Johnstone was brought into action early on and he produced a diving save to bat Josh Cullen’s goal-bound volley away.

Axel Tuanzebe’s sloppiness on the ball almost gave the home side a lead – at the other end – as he was dispossessed by Jhon Arias, who ran through on goal but sent his end product straight at Martin Dubravka.

Burnley drew first blood with the simplest of goals.

Hartman sent a routine long ball over the top which was perfectly read by Flemming
