Analysis: Burnley 1-2 Nottingham Forest

Burnley were outclassed by Nottingham Forest as they bow out of the Premier League with defeat.

Former Clarets striker Chris Wood put the visitors ahead after just 76 seconds. By the time he doubled their lead in the 14th minute it was clear Burnley were headed for a disappointing end to the campaign.

Vincent Kompany’s side tried to play through Forest with patient build-up but they struggled in the face of the visitors’ low block and lacked any real impetus in the final third.

Burnley held the majority of the ball but it made little difference as they didn’t do much with it - and when they lost possession, they were faced with Forest’s impressive counter-attacking threat.

The hosts’ defenders couldn’t cope with Callum Hudson-Odoi and Anthony Elanga’s pace on the wings and were regularly overrun by Forest on the break.

They did, at least, manage to pull a goal back, but they will return to the Championship having won just two home league games in 2023-24.
