Southampton 2, Burnley 2: Maxwel Cornet double earns Clarets a point at St Mary’s

Maxwel Cornet headed the Clarets into a first half lead before goals from Livramento and Broja saw the Saints overturn the deficit.

The Clarets weren’t to be denied a hard-earned point though and Maxwel Cornet scored his third Premier League goal in three games since signing from Lyon in the summer in spectacular style, shooting from distance giving McCarthy no chance in the Southampton goal.

Here’s how the action unfolded.

Big chance for Southampton. Redmond breaks down the right and picks out Walcott, but he somehow manages to shoot wide, thankfully for the Clarets.

How has Nathan Redmond missed that?!

Broja does well to beat Tarkowski before picking out an unmarked Redmond in the middle of the goal, no keeper to beat and he sends it wide. Another let off for the Clarets.
