Burnley earn draw on great 96th minute free kick

Laurence Griffiths

Burnley had lost. They played 95 minutes and trailed Leicester, 2-1. That is, normally, a loss. But the referee did not blow the final whistle, they drew a free kick and Ross Wallace stepped to it.

Then he hit it perfectly.

As soon as the ball hit the back of the net, Wallace lost his damn mind. And he should have. He earned his team a draw, and a most unexpected one at that. Lose your entire goddamn mind, Ross.
