    What Emery has done to take the Villa players to another level is incredible. OK, so he has brought in a couple of signings, and shrewd ones at that, but the majority of this squad were players Gerrard had. Digne is a case in point, transformed into a modern attacking full-back. Last season he'd get to half way and play backwards. Now everyone playing with skill, flare speed and intent. Emery building some thing special!

    Villa are cashing in.

    Full-back Matty Cash has both goals and Villa fully deserve their lead. They're a class above Burnley.

    Another Burnley midfielder in the book. Sander Berge pulls back Ollie Watkins. No complaints.

    There's another half shout for a penalty as Erling Haaland is once again the meat in a Blades sandwich. Anel Ahmedhodzic and John Egan let him know they're there, shall we say. Good physical stuff...

    Erling Haaland has only had six touches so far in the game, but four of them, including the penalty miss, have been shots on goal.

    He won't be concerned by the lack of involvement, if anything he is more dangerous that way, but he will be so disappointed he hasn't gotten on the scoresheet so far.

  6. INJURY TIMEpublished at 14:46 British Summer Time 27 August 2023

    Four minutes added on as Jack Grealish sees a cross deflected away. Erling Haaland wants another penalty after being wrestled by Jack Robinson, who'll wear that as a badge of honour. Like tackling a grizzly bear.

    Burnley 0-2 Aston Villa

    Burnley finally fashion a shot of menace. Zeki Amdouni weaves past a few challenges in midfield to get within range but his shot is too high an clears the bar even with a bit of dip on it.

    It's something to cling to for the home side, though. They can hurt Villa.

    Burnley's possession is largely with their defenders and deep-lying midfielders. They simply can't pick a pass through a disciplined Villa higher up the pitch.

    I don't have the stats to hand but it feels like City miss a lot of penalties doesn't it?

    That's Erling Haaland's first miss in the Premier League after netting each of his first seven.

    Haaland sent the goalkeeper the wrong way and thought he'd scored. On another day that hits the goalkeeper and it goes in. Haaland can't believe he's not scored.

    It has been a bad half for the home side.

    Captain Josh Cullen underlines that by sliding in on Boubacar Kamara to pick up a booking.

    That miss has got the home crowd going anyway, reminding Erling Haaland that he may be just an inferior Billy Sharp. Or words to that effect...

    Villa are just too quick for Burnley.

    They cut them open again as weak home tackles fail to stop the threat. Moussa Diaby is found for a pull-back that Ollie Watkins meets but sees it chested away by James Trafford.

    The keeper is going the wrong way so Haaland doesn't have to be as precise as he tries to be with the shot.

    He went for power and got it all wrong.

    Villa managed a real transfer coup when they got Pau Torres in from Villarreal in the summer.

    If you want to talk about classy centre-backs, the Spain international is a real Rolls-Royce of a defender, gliding through this game so far.

    His passing is crisp and he's cutting out most things that are coming over the top.

    People making predictions after 2 or 3 games played of a long season, give your heads a wobble! I would like to see Burnley stay up as I really like Vincent Kompany, but I hope we score another couple today to eradicate the Newcastle goal difference from matchday 1.

    Matty Cash is warming to this attacking lark.

    He goes for glory with a big left-footed volley from the edge of the box but Hannes Delcroix's block sends the ball over the bar for a corner - one that Ollie Watkins heads off target at the near post.
