Draxler's shot was not only timed beyond anyone's expectations, but also at a tricky angle and powerful, and although the Burnley goalkeeper reacted, he still couldn't touch the flying ball, so as long as Draxer's shot could hit the range of the goal, he would have scored a goal; But with a heavy impact, the ball bounced back into the pitch after a close contact with the crossbar and the post, and Draxler missed the perfect chance to score!

After Draxler hit the crossbar, Sunderland followed the momentum and unleashed a wave of attacking frenzy against Burnley; It is difficult for the Burnley team to take advantage of the midfield, and they can't play counterattacks, so they can only take over the situation of being beaten passively for the time being; Sunderland are significantly higher than their opponents, have the psychological advantage of winning the first leg comfortably, and most importantly that the game is still on their home turf, so a win is inevitable for them, with Burnley being like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

In the 23rd minute of the game, Sunderland finally broke the deadlock on the pitch as they wished, and this time it was Juanfran who also scored from Atletico Madrid in the winter transfer period! Danny Murphy created a corner on the right for his team, Halilovic took a corner that found Kirchhoff ambushed in the box, Kirchhoff shook his head unguarded and was saved by Burnley's goalkeeper, Burnley escaped! But the good times didn't last long, the Burnley goalkeeper saved the ball and landed at the feet of Juanflan, who did not make adjustments, and stabbed the ball into the opponent's goal in the confusion, helping the team to temporarily lead with a score of 1-0!

Sunderland took the lead and Juanfran scored his first goal to break the deadlock! Burnley are in danger! ”

Sunderland's desire to attack was even stronger after Juanfran scored, and just five minutes later, their second goal followed! It was left-back Van Aanholt who scored for the team this time!

Van Aanholt was going to teach Draxler to handle it as before after holding the ball past the midfield, but because Burnley's right-back was too strict with Draxler, it was difficult for Van Aanholt to get the ball to the feet of his teammates, so he simply took the lead and moved closer to the middle; At this moment, Van Aanholt also has a lot of passes, whether it is Halilovic or Dokal can be his pass object, but what is quite surprising is that the Dutchman did not choose to share the ball, but after observing the position of the opponent's goalkeeper, he decisively chose a long-distance lob shot!

Van Aanholt opted for a lob shot! This ball...... It's in!! A magical goal!! ”

Van Aanholt's goal sent the home fans in a complete boil, and this nearly half-time lob will definitely be Sunderland's best goal of the season! Nan Xiao didn't seem to react after Van Aanholt's goal, and it wasn't until Van Aanholt ran to his side that he showed a surprised expression and hugged Van Aanholt excitedly.

'It was definitely a fantastic goal without any doubt, and it was a lob that could even be among the contenders for the Premier League's best goal of the season.'

After Van Aanholt scored the second goal of the game, Burnley also seemed to have lost hope of picking up points; The 2-0 scoreline remained unchanged until half-time, and the Sunderland players returned to the dressing room to celebrate Van Aanholt's beautiful goal.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Nan Xiao made another personnel adjustment, and Chinese teenager Zhang Xiuwei came off the bench to replace Argentine Docal, it seems that Nan Xiao deliberately wanted to let the Chinese young man get more opportunities to play in the Premier League.

Sunderland played more easily in the second half, with the advantage of two balls in their hands allowing them to play both as a team and individually. Left winger Draxler had a great time in the second half, breaking through the Burnley right-back in at least five different ways throughout the second half, making it look like a virtual stake.

Sunderland's third goal came in the 57th minute when Draxler calmly split the ball down the middle of the middle after a Marseille slalom past two players, and Croatian teenager Halilovic followed up with a low shot into the bottom right corner to make it 3-0.

Halilovic was replaced by another Chinese youngster, Xu Xin, shortly after the goal, while Sunderland's formation changed from 4231 to 433.

'Sunderland still have two youngsters on the bench, Watermore and Gooch, but neither of them have been getting a chance to play lately, and Nan Xiao seems to trust his two fellows more much. Although You Lu is Nan Xiao's boyfriend, she still speaks her mind at work, although her words are likely to have a bad impact on Nan Xiao.

Zhang Xiuwei and Xu Xin both behaved decently after they came on the court, Zhang Xiuwei is more aura than Xu Xin, he also prefers to do some cooperation with his teammates, and at the same time, he will pass a very imaginative ball from time to time; And Xu Xin is more straightforward, his performance on the defensive end is far better than on the offensive end, and his running at the expense of physical strength is also an important point that can be appreciated by Nan Xiao.

Burnley were largely disarmed after Sunderland's third goal, with their boss making early changes to their main striker and central midfield to conserve energy for the next game.

Sunderland didn't press again after Burnley disarmed, while Nan Shaw also replaced Defoe in the 75th minute to give him some rare rest and give Borini some chance to play.

In the end, Sunderland comfortably beat relegation rivals Burnley at the Stadium of Light, extending the gap on their direct rivals Everton to eight points and pushing the Toffees to the brink with six league games remaining.

Nan Xiao also said in the post-match interview that these three points may be the most important three points for Sunderland this season, which not only brightened their hopes of qualifying for the Europa League, but also greatly boosted the confidence of the players, completely getting rid of the psychological shadow of the slump in form some time ago.
