SHEFFIELD, England (AP) — Burnley thumped Sheffield United 4-1 and moved within three points of safety in the English Premier League on Saturday.
Goals from Jacob Bruun Larsen and Lorenz Assignon in the space of two minutes at the end of the first half at Bramall Lane put Burnley on course for what could be a vital win against last-placed Sheffield United.
The Blades threatened a comeback when Gus Hamer pulled one back early in the second half, but further goals from Lyle Foster and substitute Johann Berg Gudmundsson ensured Burnley maintained its impressive recent form of only one loss in seven games.
Vincent Kompany’s 19th-placed team has taken 10 points during that run. It is three below Nottingham Forest in 17th, having played a game more.
Bruun Larsen put Burnley ahead after 38 minutes with a deflected effort and Assignon doubled the visitors’ lead two minutes later with a toe-poked shot.
