Derley snatches draw with last-gasp equaliser

Burnley looked set for victory until M. Fuseini's stoppage-time strike denied them.

Burnley took the lead through Z. Amdouni's first-half goal, appearing to be on course for a win. However, Derby's M. Fuseini spoiled the party with a dramatic 90+3' equaliser, earning a share of the spoils. This result defied Fipster's high-confidence prediction of a Burnley victory, proving the Championship's unpredictability once again.
