"Zian Flemming's header on the hour saw Burnley incredibly restore parity, and it appeared Flemming had completed the turnaround 12 minutes from time, only for his effort to be ruled out by VAR for offside. Brentford made the most of that let-off as Damsgaard turned home Rico Henry's cross to restore their lead."
"Ashley Barnes appeared to have rescued a point when he lashed into the bottom-left corner after a long ball into the box was nodded into his path. However, following a lengthy VAR check and despite the striker's protestations that the ball hit his chest, it was ruled that Barnes had accidentally handled before firing home."
"Defeat keeps Burnley eight points adrift of safety, with West Ham - beaten 5-2 at Liverpool - two points adrift of Nottingham Forest. Brentford's victory keeps their push for European football very much alive."
Burnley mounted a remarkable comeback against Brentford but fell short in a 4-3 defeat. Brentford led 3-0 through goals from Damsgaard, Igor Thiago, and Schade before Burnley equalized through an own goal and strikes from Anthony and Flemming. However, VAR ruled out Flemming's go-ahead goal for offside, and later disallowed Ashley Barnes' equalizer for handball despite his claims it hit his chest. The loss leaves Burnley eight points from safety. Elsewhere, Everton defeated Newcastle 3-2, strengthening their European qualification hopes while damaging Newcastle's prospects.
