Premier League: Cullen to the fore in Burnley victory

Burnley's captain Josh Cullen scored 98 seconds after halftime and winger Jaidon Anthony added a late goal, securing a clean sheet and first Premier League win since promotion.

  • Burnley secured a 2-0 victory over Sunderland at Turf Moor in their Premier League opener, with Josh Cullen and Jaidon Anthony each scoring in the second half.
  • Last season, Burnley ended the Championship campaign 24 points clear of Sunderland, who had just made their return to the Premier League with a match against West Ham last weekend.
  • After a goal disallowed for a foul by Lyle Foster in the 19th minute, the floodlights flashed in random patterns causing a four-minute delay before Cullen scored 98 seconds after the restart, assisted by Anthony's flick.
  • Cullen's 16-yard strike opened the scoring, and Anthony sealed the win with a breakaway goal in the 88th minute, rounding the goalkeeper and scoring into an empty net.
  • Scott Parker marked his first top-flight victory in nearly three years as Burnley secured their opening points of the season and aim to maintain their Premier League status, while Sunderland squandered early opportunities and faced a setback.
