Burnley won 4-1 against Sheffield United in the fight of the bottom two, securing a Premier League lifeline. Jacob Bruun Larsen and Lorenz Assignon scored in the final two minutes of the first half, before Gus Hamer drew one back early in the second. However, further goals from Lyle Foster and Johann Berg Gudmundsson dashed the Blades' hopes, as Burnley continued their late quest towards safety. Vincent Kompany's team has now gained 10 points from their previous seven games, bringing them within three points of 17th-placed Nottingham Forest, who face relegation rivals Everton on Sunday.
Blades had better first-half opportunities but could not make them count, Burnley goalkeeper Arijanet Muric stopped Oli McBurnie's close-range effort and the Blades came close to cutting the two-goal lead at the opening of the second period when James McAtee's goalbound effort was well stopped by Muric.
