Burnley 3-1 Middlesbrough: Vincent Kompany's men rally after Duncan Watmore's opener to an emphatic win thanks to a brace from Manuel Benson

Burnley staged an impressive comeback on Saturday, as they won 3-1 after going behind to Middlesbrough

Despite having 70% of the ball, the Clarets went behind shortly after the break after a goal from Duncan Watmore.

They were soon level and then in front, as two goals in quick succession from Manuel Benson turned the game on its head. The win was sealed shortly afterwards following an own goal from Boro captain Jonny Howson.

The only cloud for Vincent Kompany's men came as Connor Roberts was sent off in the 89th minute.
