Burnley 1-1 Blackburn Rovers: sensational Weimann goal shares spoils

Andreas Weimann’s sensational dipping volley earned Blackburn Rovers a hard-fought point at rivals Burnley in the East Lancashire derby.

The Austrian forward’s goal midway through the first half cancelled out Lyle Foster’s thumping header following a flowing Burnley move.

Striker Makhtar Gueye’s red card in the second half meant Rovers were forced to defend deep into their own half for the last half hour of the match.

The point means Rovers remain unbeaten in third in the Championship table while Burnley climb one place to fourth.
