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.

Burnley sub: Gudmundsson comes on for Cornet who had just gone down with what looked like cramp. Ran off the pitch, so should hopefully be fine.
