    MAN OF THE MATCH?

    Cork and Brownhill earn Burnley dramatic turnaround win

    Two quickfire second-half goals earned Burnley a third successive win as they completed a dramatic 2-1 comeback at Watford.

    The home side took the lead in the eighth minute, when Juraj Kucka's shot hit the bar and rebounded in off Burnley's James Tarkowski.

    Burnley improved after the break and soon after substitute Ashley Barnes' header had been superbly tipped on to the bar by Ben Foster, they struck twice in under four minutes. 

    Jack Cork equalised with a diving header on 83 minutes for his first goal since December 2018, before Josh Brownhill's low shot beat Foster.

    Burnley rise above Leeds United to 16th place on 34 points, five clear of the bottom three, and 12 above Watford.

    A top-flight record 11th straight home defeat leaves the Hornets in 19th needing to win their remaining four matches as they are 12 points behind 17th-placed Leeds.
