A dramatic late goal by Maxwel Cornet has sent shockwaves through the English Premier League, as Burnley secured a stunning 2-1 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion at Turf Moor Stadium. The win has sent the Clarets to the 12th spot in the table, just two points behind the relegation zone.

The result has sent a message to the rest of the league, as Burnley's manager Sean Dyche declared, 'We've shown we can fight, we've shown we can win, and we've shown we can be a force to be reckoned with.'

The match has sent shockwaves through the US, with fans of both clubs taking to social media to react to the dramatic turn of events. 'What a game!' tweeted @BurnleyFC, while @BHAFC added, 'Heartbreak in Turf Moor!'
