Blades blunted once again as Clarets run riot

BURNLEY routed Sheffield United for the second time to keep alive their hopes of staying in the Premier League and condemn the Blades to almost certain relegation.
Sheff Utd 1
Burnley 4
Goals from Jacob Bruun Larsen, Lorenz Assignon, Lyle Foster and Johann Berg Gudmundsson gave the visitors an emphatic victory over the leakiest of defences.
The four shipped made it 88 goals conceded this season. With five games left, they are odds-on to run up a century.
Chris Wilder’s strugglers are now cut adrift, seven points below their conquerors here and on their way back to the Championship.
Burnley, though, have lost just once in their last seven games and will have renewed hope after this win, which adds to the 5-0 romp they enjoyed at Turf Moor against the same opponents in December.
There was some good fortune involved in their 38th-minute opener from Bruun Larsen.
