Burnley's new predicted final finish and points tally after cruel Brentford defeat
Burnley squandered a golden chance to haul themselves back into the fight for safety this weekend as a result of their cruel late defeat to Brentford.
Scott Parker’s would now be sitting just five points adrift of safety had the two VAR decisions not gone against them at Turf Moor on Saturday.
But instead, after being defeated deep into stoppage-time, the Clarets remain eight points away from 17th place with only 10 games remaining.
Elsewhere in the relegation fight this weekend, bottom side Wolves claimed a rare win with a derby victory over Aston Villa at Molineux.
But aside from that, all of the teams involved in the dogfight – West Ham, Nottingham Forest, Tottenham and Leeds United – all lost.
