Burnley thrash 10-man Sheffield United for first home win

Burnley produced a dazzling display to crush 10-man Sheffield United 5-0 at Turf Moor on Saturday and secure their first home points of the Premier League season.

Burnley, who started the game bottom of the table and the only team in the top four divisions without a home point, moved them up two places to 18th as United dropped to 19th.

“It felt like our performances have been good for a while now. After the disappointment comes a moment of reward. I have to congratulate the lads. I’m happy for them,” Kompany told Sky Sports.

“The lads deserve all the credit they can get it. It’s not been a one-off. We’ve had performances like that this season.”
