Sheffield United 1-4 Burnley: Key stats
- Published
Sheffield United have become just the third team in history to concede 50+ goals at home in an English top-flight campaign, after Aston Villa in 1935-36 (56) and Chelsea in 1959-60 (50).
Burnley have scored nine goals against Sheffield United in the Premier League this season, the outright most they’ve netted against an opponent in a campaign in the competition (overtaking seven vs Bournemouth in 2018-19).
Burnley’s Jóhann Gudmundsson scored just 17 seconds after coming on as a substitute, while it was his first strike in the competition since February 2021 v Crystal Palace – ending a run of 50 Premier League appearances without a goal.
Only Oliver McBurnie in January 2024 (5 games) has had a longer run of either scoring or assisting at Bramall Lane for Sheffield United in the Premier League this season than Gustavo Hamer (3 games - 1 goal, 2 assists).
Lorenz Assignon became just the second Burnley defender to both score and assist in a Premier League game, after Daniel Fox did so in a 2-1 victory over West Ham in February 2010.
