Wolves comeback beats Burnley, pushes home streak past 21 games
Wolves came from behind to beat Burnley 2-1, extending the home team's winless streak to 21 games, now approaching a record.
Wolves struck twice to beat Burnley 2-1 at Turf Moor, but the story is Burnley's unravelling home record. The hosts led through Jamie Vardy's 20th-minute strike, then fell behind as Fer López equalised before half-time and substitute Tawanda Chirewa scored the winner just minutes after coming on.
Burnley's last league win at home was against Leeds on 18 October, meaning their run now stretches beyond a year. The sequence is approaching Sheffield Wednesday's record of 23 consecutive games without a home win, set last season.
Burnley coach Nicky Hayen said he will not give up but acknowledged the pressure. Vardy showed his finishing remains sharp with an angled low drive that Wolves keeper José Sá could not stop.

Why it mattersBurnley's home form has become a crisis. No team can sustain a 21-game home winless streak and survive in their league; points are slipping away faster than they can recover.
