Southampton 2-2 Burnley: Player ratings as points shared in thrilling draw

Southampton and Burnley put on a show as the two sides battled to a thrilling 2-2 draw at St Mary's on Saturday afternoon.

A smart finish from Maxwel Cornet gave Burnley the lead 13 minutes in, with the Ivorian popping up in the box to head home an excellent cross from Matt Lowton.

Southampton responded well and could have easily had three or four before the break. Nathan Redmond scuffed wide from just a few yards out before Tino Livramento, who saw a shot ping back off the post, finally headed home from a corner to tie things up.

Just a few minutes after the restart, Armando Broja made it 2-1 as he pounced on a shocking pass from James Tarkowski to fire the ball past Nick Pope.

But against the run of play, Cornet unleashed a snap half-volley which fizzed its way into the back of the net to level the match with half an hour to play.
