Burnley beat Sunderland 2-0 at Turf Moor courtesy of goals from Josh Cullen and Jaidon Anthony. A brief floodlight failure occurred during the second half, but play continued uninterrupted. Lyle Foster had a first-half goal disallowed before Cullen curled home a 47th-minute opener. Cullen later provided a precise assist for Anthony to seal the result. Cullen attempted 61 passes, tied with Maxime Esteve, and made 23 final-third passes. Sunderland had beaten West Ham 3-0 in their first match since 2017 but suffer a poor away Premier League record, losing 15 of their last 18 away games and failing to score in 12.
While Sunderland claimed a 3-0 win over West Ham United in their first Premier League game since 2017 last week, Burnley were dispatched by the same scoreline away at Tottenham. But after seeing Lyle Foster have a goal disallowed in the first half, Burnley ultimately cruised to the points thanks to efforts from Josh Cullen and Jaidon Anthony after the interval.
Data Debrief: Captain Cullen leads by example Burnley remain unbeaten in all four of their Premier League home games against Sunderland (W3 D1), and Cullen can take his fair share of plaudits. The hosts' captain attempted 61 passes in the game, the joint most of any Burnley player alongside Maxime Esteve. Cullen also attempted the most final third passes (23) of any Clarets player.
