Burnley suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Newcastle United, while Nottingham Forest’s triumph over Sheffield United put Burnley in a precarious position.
Vincent Kompany remained resilient despite Burnley’s proximity to Premier League relegation following a 4-1 loss to Newcastle. The defeat, along with Nottingham Forest’s 3-1 victory over Sheffield United, has left Burnley trailing by five points with only two matches left.
This season has been tough for Burnley, with 22 losses in the Premier League. Kompany, however, tried to focus on the positive aspects of the game and remains hopeful that Burnley can still fight until the last day.

Burnley faced a strong Newcastle side, with players like Callum Wilson, Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes, and Alexander Isak scoring against them. Dara O’Shea managed to score a consolation goal, but it was not enough to mitigate the disappointment of the overall performance.
Meanwhile, Forest secured a crucial win against Sheffield United, with Callum Hudson Odoi’s brace and a goal from Ryan Yates turning the game around. However, controversy surrounded the match, with Chris Wilder questioning the referee’s decisions in favor of Forest.
