Burnley 1-1 Hull: Robert Snodgrass cancels out Steven Defour's strike with 95th-minute free-kick

As Robert Snodgrass hit Hull City’s equaliser deep into stoppage time at Burnley, Mike Phelan’s team thrived in a situation of adversity once again.

Unprepared for the new season, they were favourites to be relegated but now have seven points from their four Premier League matches. It is a remarkable achievement.

Steven Defour looked to have decided this game after 73 minutes of drab, disappointing football, only for Snodgrass to pop up at the death with an inch-perfect free-kick that sent the travelling fans wild.

They saluted their team and stand-in manager Phelan at full-time — a just reward for the heroics they are performing back in the top flight.
