A FINE STRIKE from Connor Roberts was not enough to take Burnley to the top of the Championship as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Middlesbrough .
Burnley came into the match on the back of five straight clean sheets but, given Boro’s record of 13 goals in their last three away games, it was perhaps no surprise that run did not last. What was surprising was how easy it appeared to breach Burnley’s defence for the first time in 501 minutes. With swirling winds, the precursor to Storm Darragh, blowing spare balls on to the pitch, Burnley kept up the pressure as Jeremy Sarmiento tried to arrow in a shot which Dieng palmed into the side-netting.
Roberts played three one-twos, the last with Josh Brownhill, before hitting a shot from 25 yards which caught out a flat-footed Dieng as it looped over him and into the net, Roberts’ first Burnley goal since April 2023 after he spent the second half of last season with Leeds.
