Bizarre Burton goal helps Owls to point at Burnley

Match Report

Laws verdict:

"Our penalty wound up the home fans and the Burnley players and really spurred them on."

"Until then the crowd had been really quiet but the penalty certainly got them going and they came back at us to score in their next attack."

"That was disappointing because we defended very well on the whole and there was just one lapse which allowed Burnley to get back level."
