<\/span><br \/>\n        <\/figcaption><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The match had a physical edge to it, with Vitek angry after being caught by Satpayev as he chased a back pass, and Lankshear booked for treading on Hannibal Mejbri&#8217;s foot.<\/p>\n<p>Morris almost added a second Middlesbrough goal two minutes before half-time following a loose Connor Roberts clearance, striding forward and smashing a shot against Weiss&#8217; left-hand post from 25 yards.<\/p>\n<p>Then Lankshear slipped past Anel Ahmedhodzic after Kyle Joseph flicked Adilson Malanda&#8217;s pass into his path, and crossed low for Riley McGree to steer wide on the stretch from six yards.<\/p>\n<p>But Burnley improved after half-time and drew level when Raghouber guided a shot into the corner from just outside the penalty area.<\/p>\n<p>Then the impressive Satpayev ran at Alfie Jones and twisted inside the Middlesbrough centre-back, his sliding shot being stopped by the trailing leg of the wrongfooted Vitek.<\/p>\n<p>Substitute Aaron Ramsey fired just wide with 12 minutes left as Burnley chased a winner, but they had to settle for a point.<\/p>\n<h3>The managers<\/h3>\n<p><em>Burnley&#8217;s Nicky Hayen:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We started with good intentions in the first 10 minutes. But then they scored the goal and then there was a certain fear in the team.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were dropping back. We were not putting pressure in the right way. That&#8217;s something we changed in the second half.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Then you see that we play with a lot more courage and then we felt after that goal with the support of the fans that you can change that game.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But I have to be fair also, physically we&#8217;re not there yet at the moment because we have also new signings who didn&#8217;t have a proper pre-season, who didn&#8217;t play a lot of friendly games.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>Middlesbrough&#8217;s Kim Hellberg:<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We were the better team from my point of view and controlled things, playing good football. We created a lot of chances, especially in the first half, and kept them to very few.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They had a spell in the second half, maybe 15 minutes, where they were quite strong but didn&#8217;t create so many chances.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But sometimes we were not good enough with the ball, and Burnley got the crowd with them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Otherwise, I think it was a very good performance. We would have wanted three points, but we had to settle for one.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re still getting there with a lot of players coming back and we&#8217;re building them up, which means we will just get better. But I think this was a big step forward in terms of how we want to look as a football side.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think this, in general, was one of our best performances this season in terms of how we looked against very strong opponents.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>What the result means and next fixtures&#8230;<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ugo Raghouber&#8217;s first goal for Burnley earned only their second point from their opening four&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":813,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-812","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-premier-league"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/skysports-burnley-fc_7339241.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/812","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=812"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/812\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/813"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=812"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportbulletin.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
