Burnley's Shocking Comeback: From 2-0 Down to 3-2 Up!
12 Feb
Summary
- Burnley trailed by two goals before halftime.
- Three goals were scored by Burnley in quick succession.
- A dramatic own goal sealed Burnley's comeback before halftime.
Burnley's team bus faced traffic delays en route to Selhurst Park, resulting in a 10-minute match delay. The Clarets, struggling at the bottom of the Premier League, found themselves 2-0 down by the 39th minute, seemingly destined for another defeat.
However, Burnley mounted an extraordinary comeback. Hannibal Mejbri scored in the first half, followed by Jaidon Anthony levelling the score four minutes later. The dramatic turnaround was completed in first-half stoppage time when an attempted clearance deflected off Jefferson Lerma into his own net, giving Burnley a surprising 3-2 lead.
This exceptional turnaround provided a much-needed morale boost for manager Scott Parker, who had faced criticism from his own supporters. Despite the potential significance of this result for their relegation battle, the first-half performance offered a glimmer of hope.
