Burnley clinch first Premier League win on return

Burnley secured their first win since returning to the Premier League, defeating fellow newcomers Sunderland 2-0.

The result comes just a week after Sunderland's impressive victory over West Ham.

Both goals at Turf Moor were scored in the second half, with Josh Cullen (47') opening the scoring and Jaidon Anthony (88') sealing the win.

Jacob Bruun Larsen and Lesley Ugochukwu started for Burnley.

Sunderland's only change from their superb performance against West Ham was the inclusion of Omar Alderete in the starting lineup.

In the 18th minute, Lyle Foster thought he had given the hosts the lead, but the goal was disallowed following a VAR review for a foul he committed in the build-up.

The first half was a tight affair, featuring only one shot on target.

Burnley broke the deadlock immediately after the restart.

In the 47th minute, Anthony cleverly backheeled the ball to Cullen on the edge of the box. Cullen took a couple of touches before firing a precise shot into the far corner.

In the 88th minute, the roles were reversed. This time, Cullen played a fantastic through ball from his own half to send Anthony clear.

The winger rounded the keeper and slotted the ball into the net to make it 2-0.
