TURF MOOR MISERY: BURNLEY'S RECORD SEVENTH STRAIGHT LOSS PILES PRESSURE ON SCOTT PARKER
Fulham secured their first win at Burnley in 74 years, inflicting a record seventh straight Premier League loss on Scott Parker’s side. We analyse the glaring defensive errors.
Fulham secured a win at Turf Moor against Scott Parker and Burnley, their first victory there in 74 years.
Before this match, Fulham hadn't won away against Burnley in 34 tries, a streak dating back to 1951.
But Marco Silva’s team managed a 3-2 victory in East Lancashire, in a game where Burnley only had themselves to blame.
Burnley gave up two worryingly easy goals in the first half.
The hosts played okay otherwise and were more of an attacking threat, initially equalizing through Lesley Ugochukwu.
But as they chased the game in the second half, Harry Wilson, who made Fulham’s first two goals, scored on a break, leading to boos from the crowd. Many fans also left early.
Oliver Sonne came off the bench to score and make the final moments close, but Burnley couldn't create any late chances.
Burnley has now lost seven straight games in the Premier League for the first time.
Plus, this loss casts more doubt on Parker's future, as his team has been stuck at 10 points since October.
Burnley got a boost with Axel Tuanzebe's unexpected early return, as he was thought to still be injured.
The defender had missed Burnley’s previous two games due to an injury from the recent loss to Brentford.
Before the game, Parker seemed unsure if Tuanzebe would play, but he started in place of Kyle Walker, who was suspended after receiving his fifth yellow card of the season against Newcastle.
Lucas Pires was also out due to a red card in the St. James’ Park game; Quilindschy Hartman replaced him.
Hannibal served the second game of his four-game suspension after admitting to misconduct.
Jordan Beyer, Bashir Humphreys, Connor Roberts, Enock Agyei, and Zeki Amdouni are still out injured.
Marco Silva was pleased to have Antonee Robinson back in the lineup; he started for Fulham for the first time since September.
This was the only change Fulham made after last week’s 2-1 loss to Crystal Palace, with Timothy Castagne out of the left-back position.
Burnley needed a good start to stop their losing streak, and they tried to deliver.
They won a free kick early on when Lesley Ugochukwu was fouled by former Claret Sander Berge, but Jacob Bruun Larsen’s shot hit the wall.
However, Burnley quickly fell behind after just 10 minutes.
Quilindschy Hartman missed Harry Wilson’s low corner, allowing Emile Smith Rowe to easily score from close range.
Burnley responded well and almost equalized right away with Bruun Larsen setting up Lesley Ugochukwu, but goalkeeper Bernd Leno made the save.
Ugochukwu scored in the 20th minute, finishing a well-executed team move.
Josh Cullen passed to split the defenders, and Ugochukwu ran onto it and scored past Leno off the post.
Burnley was only level for 10 minutes before Fulham regained the lead with another simple goal.
A cleared corner was played back into the area towards Wilson, who had plenty of space.
He crossed to Calvin Bassey, who headed home unchallenged.
The game got intense near halftime when Fulham’s Joachin Andersen was booked for fouling Armando Broja as Burnley tried to break.
Burnley took the free kick quickly, putting Broja through on goal, but Leno rushed out to win the ball.
Fulham then countered, with Wilson going through on goal, but his shot was blocked by Hartman, allowing Martin Dubravka to save.
Ugochukwu nearly scored again with a powerful volley, but Leno saved it.
Burnley seemed to struggle at the start of the second half, but they almost got back into the game when a backpass landed at Bruun Larsen’s feet. But Leno made a good save.
This was a key moment, as Fulham then scored their third goal.
Burnley pushed forward, leaving space for Fulham to counter.
Wilson scored the third goal, curling a shot past Dubravka.
Marcus Edwards and Zian Flemming came off the bench for Burnley, but it was too late.
Things could have gotten worse for Burnley when a Tuanzebe mistake nearly gave Fulham a fourth goal, but Antonee Robinson shot high.
The Burnley fans cheered when Mike Tresor made his first league appearance in 582 days. He played alongside Cullen in midfield.
Sonne scored to bring Burnley within a goal, shooting home after a Fulham defender flicked on Hartman’s cross.
Burnley had six minutes of added time to try and score, but they didn't create any chances, leading to boos from the fans at the final whistle.
MICHAEL OWEN DECLARES PREMIER LEAGUE "NEARLY WRAPPED UP" FOR LEADERS ARSENAL
Michael Owen tells talkSPORT that Arsenal have "wrapped up" the Premier League title, sitting six points clear with 14 games left.
Michael Owen says Arsenal has basically wrapped up the league.
Right now, Mikel Arteta’s team sits six points clear at the top of the Premier League. Fourteen games left, but they’re determined not to trip up like they did in the past. Three years in a row, they finished second—always just missing out on Manchester City or Liverpool. Remember that eight-point lead they blew to City in 2022/23? That one really stung, especially since City went on to win everything: the league, the Champions League, and the Carabao Cup.
On Wednesday morning, Owen—yeah, the former United and Liverpool striker—went on talkSPORT and talked about how easy Arsenal has it this season. “I don’t think anyone’s good enough to compete with them this year,” he said. “Even though I don’t think the points total will be that high.” He figured only Liverpool or City had a shot at the start of the season, but both have fallen off. So, in Owen’s mind, Arsenal has pretty much been handed the title. “Nobody’s put much pressure on them,” he said. “The league is nearly wrapped up.”
And Arsenal just beat Chelsea 1-0 at the Emirates in the Carabao Cup (4-2 on aggregate), so now they’re one win away from silverware—it would be their first trophy under Arteta since that FA Cup back in 2020.
Owen already thinks Arsenal will be champions this year, and he’s backing them for the League Cup too. “I think they could win the Carabao Cup, absolutely,” he said. “But the other two trophies are going to be tough.”
The Gunners are still chasing the quadruple. They topped their Champions League group, knocked Portsmouth out of the FA Cup, and haven’t lost in Europe—getting some big wins over Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, and Bayern Munich along the way.
Owen, who’s got a Ballon d’Or to his name, thinks Arsenal will face stiffer competition outside England. “Everyone else will be focusing on the FA Cup now, since the league’s pretty much over,” he said. “It’s the only thing that can save their season, so clubs will put out strong teams.” Then there’s the Champions League, which feels wide open this year.
Alan Brazil from talkSPORT asked Owen if Arsenal could actually win all four trophies. Owen shot that down. “No, I don’t think so,” he replied. “But they’re special, a really strong, efficient side.”
ASTON VILLA VALUE MORGAN ROGERS AT £100M+ AS LIVERPOOL AND CHELSEA CIRCLE
Aston Villa face a fight to keep £100m-rated Morgan Rogers as Liverpool and Chelsea circle the England star for a summer move.
Aston Villa really wants to hang on to Morgan Rogers, but that’s going to be tough this summer. There’s serious money on the table, and both Liverpool and Chelsea can’t seem to take their eyes off him. One journalist even called Rogers “a joy to watch.”
Rogers is only 23, but he’s come a long way fast. Villa picked him up from Middlesbrough just over two years ago for an initial £8 million, which doubled when you count the add-ons. At the time, not everyone was convinced—he came in without much fuss, just another Manchester City academy kid trying to make his mark. But look at him now: one of the best signings Villa’s made in years, his value through the roof, and you’d be hard-pressed to find a starting lineup without his name for either club or country.
Villa now rates him at more than £100 million, and the whole “big six” wants him. He even landed a new contract in November, tying him to Villa until June 2031. But even with that deal, Mark Carey from The Athletic thinks Villa will have their hands full trying to keep him. Rogers isn’t just playing well under Unai Emery—he’s on fire, and with the World Cup coming up, his profile’s only getting bigger.
Nine goals and seven assists from 34 games this season say it all. That’s why the top clubs keep circling. Liverpool and Chelsea are both sniffing around, and if Chelsea loses Cole Palmer, they’ll be even more desperate. Carey says teams in England and abroad won’t be scared off by Villa’s tough stance or Rogers’ long contract.
Carey’s pretty blunt: Villa’s resolve is about to face its biggest test yet. He says it’ll be interesting to see how the club reacts, especially if they miss out on the Champions League for 2026/27.
So why is Rogers worth more than £100 million now? Carey points to the long contract as a bit of a safety net for Villa, but Rogers’ progress is off the charts. He’s that good—“a joy to watch,” in Carey’s words—and honestly, there’s no ceiling to how far he can go.
You could see this coming even last September. Transfer insider Dean Jones already knew Villa rated Rogers highly and figured he could be the club’s next £100m man after Jack Grealish. Jones said people close to Villa believed Rogers would hit that price by the January window, but selling him mid-season wasn’t really on the table. If Rogers kept playing like this, Jones said, the £100m tag would stick by next summer—especially with that long contract.
Jones summed it up: Rogers has become one of the most exciting attackers in the Premier League, and Villa is determined to keep him. Last summer, insiders said Villa internally priced him at £80 million and made it clear he wasn’t for sale.
But if Mark Carey’s right and Villa’s resolve gets pushed this summer, they won't settle for less than what Man City paid for Grealish (£100 million). Honestly, with the way things are going, they might even demand the kind of money Liverpool shelled out for Florian Wirtz—around £116 million.
