Burnley and Wolves played out an entertaining 1-1 draw on the final day of the 2025/26 Premier League season.

Adam Armstrong's fifth minute penalty, after Florentino was penalised for handball by VAR, handed the visitors an early lead.

Zian Flemming's 11th top-flight goal of the season drew the Clarets level moments into the second half, playing a neat one two with Loum Tchsouna before unleashing an unstoppable low strike into the bottom corner.

And that was how it finished, with Burnley ending the campaign in 19th spot, two points ahead of their visitors in 20th.

All the action from Turf Moor

On a sweltering afternoon in Lancashire, the deadlock was broken from the penalty spot inside three minutes, after Florentino was adjudged to have handled inside the area.

Armstrong stepped up from 12-yards and slammed home the opener to give Wolves an early lead.

The visitors went close to doubling their lead 10 minutes later, when Mateus Mane struck the outside of the post with an effort from range.

With nothing much to separate the two sides in a tight first-half, Max Weiss was then called into action to make an excellent save to deny Santiago Bueno from hammering in from a corner shorty after the half-hour mark.

The final two chances of the half fell the way of the hosts - Jaidon Anthony and Florentino each testing Wolves keeper’ Jose Sa, who was equal to both goal-bound strikes.

It didn’t take long for the Clarets to get going in the second-half -Jackson’s side finding a leveller inside two minutes.

Flemming played a smart one-two with Tchaouna on the edge of the area, with the striker then sweeping the ball sweetly into the bottom corner past Sa to draw the scores level.

There was a chance for the visitors to regain their lead soon after - Bashir Humphreys slipped inside his own half with Mane picking up possession and running in towards goal, but the youngster could only fire over the target from inside the box.

In a lively opening 10 minutes of the second-half, the Clarets then struck the outside of the post, with Florentino’s inswinging cross ricocheting to safety off the upright.

Following a tight first-half, the second-half was an end-to-end affair.

Hannibal came close to bagging Burnley’s second of the afternoon, but the midfielder’s incredible solo effort trickled under the body of Sa, before being cleared away just in front of the goal-line.

Shortly after that chance, Jackson made his first change of the afternoon with just over 20 minutes left on the clock, as Hannibal was replaced by Zeki Amdouni.

Another change 10 minutes later saw Marcus Edwards replace Tchaouna, with the substitute coming close to putting Burnley ahead, but his curled effort sailed over the crossbar

Chances continued to flow, but it ended 1-1.
