Relegated Burnley Claw Draw at Villa Park and Dash Villa’s Champions League Hopes

Aston Villa’s bid to finish in the top four suffered a blow when they were held 2-2 at Villa Park by already relegated Burnley. Burnley opened scoring through Jaidon Anthony. Ross Barkley then equalised with a header, and Ollie Watkins appeared to put Villa ahead. However, Zian Flemming struck back for Burnley moments later. With only two matches remaining, Villa now sit fifth in the Premier League. Bournemouth and Brighton are breathing down their necks in the race for Champions League qualification. Late in the game, Villa appealed for a penalty after Emiliano Buendía went down in the box, but VAR turned down the call, leaving their fate to the final matchday.
