The Clarets’s 5-0 victory was their first at Turf Moor

Wolves are coming back from a trip to the Emirates Stadium. They travelled to face Arsenal for their matchday 14 fixture. By the 15-minute mark, the Gunners led 2-0 at their home. Although Wolves tried to do a comeback it was too late. The final score was a 2-1 defeat to the Wolves side. Now they host relegation-zoned Burnley.

Burnley took on another side in the relegation zone from the Premier League on matchday 14. It was a game against Sheffield United. It was a fantastic play from Vincent Kompany’s men as they recorded just their second win and first at their home stadium, Turf Moor. The Clarets won 5-0 and now will want the results to be flowing in the same direction.
