Burnley vs Sheffield United LIVE: Premier League result as Clarets run riot after McBurnie red card

Burnley showed a clinical edge in the first half, scoring from both of their shots on target. They have only registered an xG (expected goals) of 0.59 but are fully deserving of their lead. Amdouni has had plenty of nice touches and played an important role in the Clarets' opener, with Bruun Larsen and Vitinho combining well down the right. As for the Blades, they failed to recover from the early setback. The away side only had three shots before the break, with Archer wasting a clear opportunity to score from inside the box. Heckingbottom's side have shown their frustrations, already seeing two yellow cards and one red in the match.

Goals from Rodriguez and Bruun Larsen have put Burnley in complete control against the Blades, who went down to 10 men late in the half. The Clarets started the game quickly and scored after just 15 seconds. Taylor found Rodriguez with a cross from the left, with the striker diving across to head the ball into the bottom corner. Norwood then tested Trafford with a powerful drive from range before the hosts doubled their lead. O'Shea's chipped pass over the top of United's defence found Bruun Larsen, who controlled the ball brilliantly before slotting his effort beyond Foderingham. Archer had an opportunity to get one back but lofted his strike over, with the Blades going down a man before the break. McBurnie was shown two yellow cards for separate elbows on O'Shea.

HALF-TIME: BURNLEY 2-0 SHEFFIELD UNITED

Taylor's inviting cross from the right looks for Rodriguez, but Trusty gets above the striker to get there first. Fleck then heads it behind for a corner. However, the Clarets don't have enough time to make anything of it.

Bruun Larsen's corner is flicked across the box by the head of O'Shea, but nobody in a Burnley shirt can get a shot away. Berge had run too far forward and couldn't hook the ball back towards the goal.

Burnley are ending the half positively. Vitinho chips a pass down the right, forcing Rodriguez to come wide to retrieve possession. He does well and wins a corner.

Yellow 2nd/RC Oliver Robert McBurnie

There will be five minutes of additional time.

Yellow Card Luke Jonathan Thomas

A Burnley corner comes in from the right, with O'Shea flicking the ball onto Amdouni. He goes down after a pull from Thomas, but nothing is given. There is a short VAR check for a possible penalty, but the game is allowed to continue.
