Oli McBurnie scored his first goal of the season last night, during a 2-2 draw against Southampton in the third round of the Carabao Cup. 

The 25-year-old, who played 90 minutes for just the second time all season last night, equalised for The Blades in the 66th minute, ensuring that the Championship club would take their higher level opposition to penalties. 

McBurnie proceeded to miss the penultimate penalty of the tie before Oriel Romeu struck with composure to progress Southampton to the next round of the competition. 

 

 

However, it was a strong performance from McBurnie, and whilst scoring will mean the world to him, his brilliant hold up play, intelligence, and high energy levels, meant that it was an excellent display from the towering front man. 

Born in Leeds and progressing through the academy system at Bradford City, the 25-year-old joined Swansea City in 2015.
