Wolverhampton Wanderers came from behind to beat Burnley 2-1 in the Championship on Friday, piling more misery on the hosts. Burnley’s winless run at home now stretches to 21 games, with their last home league win coming against Leeds in the Premier League on October 18 last year.
Vardy’s opener and Lopez’s equaliser before half-time
Jamie Vardy gave the hosts the lead after 20 minutes with his first Burnley goal. Burnley dominated the first half but could not turn that control into more goals. A mistake by captain Kyle Walker then led to Fer Lopez side-footing an equaliser six minutes before the break.
Chirewa’s late winner after another Burnley error
Substitute Tawanda Chirewa struck within seconds of coming off the bench after 72 minutes, again following a Burnley defensive error. Mateus Mane pounced on a heavy touch from Igor Julio and set up the 23-year-old Zimbabwean international, whose angled shot beat Clarets goalkeeper Gregoire Coudert.
Burnley’s table position and upcoming fixtures
The two sides last met on the final day of the 2025-26 season, when both were already relegated from the Premier League, and that game ended 1-1. Burnley sit just above the Championship relegation zone, while Wolves are sixth.
Burnley’s next home game is against Portsmouth, with Blackburn then scheduled to visit Turf Moor on November 22.
