BURNLEY, England (AP) — Burnley registered its first win in 11 Premier League games by beating 10-man Brentford 2-1 at Turf Moor on Saturday.
The Clarets took the lead through a 10th-minute penalty from Jacob Bruun Larsen, given after a foul on Vitinho by Sergio Reguilon. The Spanish left back received a straight red card for the offense because he was the last man and denied an goalscoring opportunity.
David Datro Fofana, guilty of a remarkable miss from close range late in the first half, then doubled Burnley's advantage with a deftly taken finish in the 62nd.
Kristoffer Ajer pulled a goal back for Brentford in the 83rd but Burnley was able to see out its first victory of 2024 and only its fourth in the league this season.
Burnley moved eight points from safety while Brentford is only four points above the relegation zone after its own sequence without victory extended to a sixth match.
Luton 1, Notts Forest 1
In Luton, Nottingham Forest missed a chance to pull clear of the Premier League's relegation zone ahead of a possible points deduction for overspending by conceding in the 89th minute to draw 1-1.
Luke Berry scored from a knockdown at a corner for the equalizer at Kenilworth Road just four minutes after coming on as a substitute.
That canceled out Chris Wood's 34th-minute volley with the outside of his foot from Morgan Gibbs-White's cross.
Forest stayed three points ahead of third-to-last Luton with nine matches remaining. However, a points deduction — which might arrive in the coming weeks — could drop Nuno Espirito Santo's team into the relegation zone.
Luton preserved its status as an entertainer in its first ever season in the Premier League.
In the past week, the team has gained a point at Crystal Palace after equalizing in the sixth minute of stoppage time, lost 4-3 at Bournemouth from 3-0 up, and now scored in the 89th for a point against Forest.
