A goal from a penalty in the 96th minute brought Burnley`s draw against Wolverhampton in a match of the 36th round of the Premier League. The Wolves took a well-deserved lead with a goal by Raul Jimenez in the 76th minute and could already see them approaching a point from Leicester and Manchester United, but deep in added time Chris Wood made 1:1 from an 11-meter penalty kick.
Sean Dyke bet on the same starting lineup as in the match with Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday. Nuno Espirito Santo had made four adjustments. Adama Traore, Joao Moutinho, Ruben Vinagre and Diogo Jota started. The Wolves had the advantage in the first half. In the 12th minute Sais was dropped and intercepted from two meters with his head a cross from Moutinho from a corner, but failed to find the door, missing a great goal. Towards the end of the half, Jota also had a good opportunity, but his shot also went wide.
After the break, the dominance of the guests continued. Traore, Jimenez, Neves and Jota missed good situations, but the logical thing happened in the 76th minute. Traore eliminated three Burnley players with his speed, then found Doherty on the right. The latter`s shot was blocked by Tarkovsky, but Jimenez found the ball from volley, sending it to the right corner of Pope`s door.
However, the Wolves failed to keep their lead. In added time, Wood missed a great opportunity, but a minute later he tried again with a backscissors, after which the ball met Doherty`s hand. Mike Dean awarded a penalty, and his decision was upheld by the VAR. Wood executed a beautiful 11-meter penalty kick, sending the ball into the top right corner of Patricio`s goal for the final predicted by soccer livescore 1:1.
