Cardiff 5-4 Burnley - Tactical Analysis

If you turned your perfectly legal stream off when Burnley were 4-1 up on Saturday, you’d have assumed that the Clarets had picked up just a third league win in the last year. But you’d be sorely mistaken.

It’s difficult to pinpoint exactly where it all went wrong, but a mind boggling double change that saw Connor Roberts and Oliver Sonne introduced certainly didn’t help.
Here, we breakdown just where things went wrong yesterday, looking particularly at the goals.
