Clarets hit back to gain key point as Gudmundsson goal rewards superb second-half performance
|
The Clarets’ 250th Premier League game turned out to be a cracker as they came from behind to earn a valuable point through Johann Berg Gudmundsson’s first goal for 18 months. Sean Dyche’s men couldn’t mark the milestone with a win that would have propelled them even further away from the bottom three at a pivotal stage of the programme. They couldn’t have done much more to get it after recovering from Lewis Dunk’s 36th-minute goal for the visitors to dominate the remainder of a wide-open contest with some of their best attacking play of the season. But putting the brakes on Brighton’s charge and maintaining the status quo with an eighth draw in 11 games between the two sides still made it a decent reward as Gudmundsson continued his return to top fitness and form with the deserved 53rd-minute equaliser which brought him a first goal since the opening day of last season. The Clarets welcomed back Ashley Barnes as their sole change to the starting line-up that had lost to league leaders Manchester City in mid-week for the striker’s first appearance since scoring the winner at Anfield five games ago.

I'm enjoying Vydra's performances of late, he just needs a goal.
I thought Lowton was our best performer though.
