‘We’re just so used to it’ say fans as Burnley admin makes bizarre blunder after West Brom draw
BURNLEY fans claimed “we’re just so used to it” after their team’s X account erroneously reported that they’d drawn 0-0 with West Brom.
Scott Parker‘s side hosted Tony Mowbray’s men at Turf Moor, hoping to overtake Leeds at the top of the Championship table.
The Clarets have become known for their frugal defence this season.
They went into tonight’s match having only conceded 10 goals in 36 league games under Parker.
Burnley did go behind, however, via John Swift’s stunning 20th minute free kick.
But the promotion chasers weren’t down for long, Zian Flemming equalising in the 23rd minute.
The match went on to finish 1-1… not that you’d have known from their initial social media post.
The tweet read: “It ends goalless in Burnley.”
Responding to the mistake, one fan joked: “We’re so used to 0-0 hahahahaaha.”
While a second cheekily wrote: “we saw what you did there.”

The Clarets quickly updated the post to read: “It ends level in Burnley.”
Incredibly, Parker’s side have drawn 0-0 eleven times this season.
They have scored 50 goals, the lowest tally among the Championship’s top four.
Prior to their 2-1 win at Cardiff earlier this month, Burnley had gone 12 league matches in a row without conceding.
Following tonight’s Championship action the Clarets remain third in the table.
They are just one point behind previous leaders Leeds United, and two off new table-toppers Sheffield United.
