Burnley entered a match against Bristol City attempting to end a winless streak of 206 days and a home winless streak of 322 days. Player Hjalmar Ekdal stated that the team “does not belong at the bottom of the table” and needed to prove their capabilities. Following the fixture, Burnley fell to the bottom of the Championship table with only two points after a 1-2 defeat. Although Aaron Ramsey scored in the 56th minute, Bristol City secured the win with goals from Robert Dickie in the 82nd minute and Hirakawa in the 91st minute. Defensive player Oliver Sonne, who played the full match, faced criticism for his performance, specifically regarding his struggles in defensive and aerial duels. The defeat, which marked Bristol City’s first win at Turf Moor in nearly two decades, left Burnley winless after five matches. The loss sparked significant unrest among supporters, who booed the team and directed chants toward club owner Alan Pace. A confrontation also occurred in a car park between player Armando Broja and frustrated fans. Burnley manager Nicky Hayen addressed the tension, stating he understands the fans' frustration but noted that the squad is currently struggling with a lack of confidence and fitness due to players returning from long periods of inactivity.
