- Burnley’s Lucas Pires was sent off in the first half for tripping Anthony Elanga, leaving the visitors to play with ten men.
- A VAR review gave Burnley a stoppage-time penalty that Zian Flemming buried in the 94th minute, and he then headed wide with the final chance.
- Howe called the finale “uncomfortable” and urged better late-game management, while £55m signing Yoane Wissa made a brief debut from the bench.
