Burnley fight back twice to draw 2-2 at Villa

Sept 28 (Reuters) - Second-half goals from Jay Rodriguez and Chris Wood helped Burnley come from behind twice in a 2-2 Premier League draw with Aston Villa on Saturday.

Villa started aggressively and thought they had broken the deadlock in the 25th minute with John McGinn slotting home from close range but the goal was chalked off after a VAR review adjudged Conor Hourihane to have been offside in the build-up.

The hosts continued to test Burnley's defensive line and took the lead through a blistering counter-attack, with Dutch forward Anwar El Ghazi smashing home a half volley from a tight angle.
