Burnley 0 Southampton 1: Danny Ings strike and controversial decisions see Dyche lose 400th game as boss

Danny Ings scored his third goal of the season as Burnley lost 1-0 to Southampton.

Danny Ings found the net after just five minutes of the clash

Ings scored from close range against his former club just five minutes into the match.

The 28-year-old found the net from eight yards after the ball was laid off by Che Adams.

Since the start of last season, Ings has scored 25 of Southampton’s 48 Premier League goals.

Burnley, who were without seven senior players, had a penalty call dismissed in the first half.

Referee Andre Marriner did not point to the spot after Chris Wood went down after a challenge from Jan Bednarek.

In the second half, Wood struck the ball past Alex McCarthy but his goal was ruled out for offside.

VAR could not review what appeared to be a close call.

The victory marks Southampton’s first win at Burnley in the top-flight since March 1971.

It leaves Burnley slumped at 17th in the table after losing both of their opening games.

Up next, Dyche’s struggling side will host Manchester City in the cup.
