Struggling Burnley settle for 1-1 draw v Brighton after own-goal

BURNLEY, England : An own-goal by goalkeeper Arijanet Muric handed Burnley a setback in their Premier League survival hopes as they had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion at Turf Moor on Saturday.

The hosts had taken the lead in the 74th minute through substitute Josh Brownhill, who found the net with a left-footed shot from the middle of the box.

But their joy was short-lived as goalkeeper Muric failed to handle a pass from a defender, sending the ball into his own net five minutes later.

Burnley remain 19th in the standings with 20 points, while Brighton are 10th.
