Comments:

League position: 19th . Burnley avoided becoming the first-ever team to lose their opening eight home games of the season in the Premier League or Football League. . This was now their biggest win in the top division since a 5-0 victory against Nottingham Forest in League Division One on 21 February 1970. It was legendary manager Harry Potts' final game of his 12 years in charge as he was promoted to general manager. . Jay Rodriguez's opening goal was timed at 15 seconds. It equalled the club record for the Clarets’ quickest-ever recorded goal in a league game; also by John Connelly against Nottingham Forest in League Division One in March 1961.

Comments:

League position: 20th . Manager Paul Heckingbottom was sacked three days after this game (played 109, won 52, lost 39). . Sheffield United now remained without an away league win since their visit to Birmingham City on 8 May 2023 in the League Championship; longer than any other current Premier League team. . This was the first time that the Blades had lost a game in the Premier League against the team starting the day on the bottom of the table (won four, drawn seven). . Ollie McBurnie had now been sent-off in two in his four appearances in away games so far in this Premier League season.
