Decisive figure rescues Derby with stoppage-time strike | OneFootball

Mohammed Fuseini levelled it in the third minute of second half stoppage time, his right-footed finish earning Derby County a 1-1 draw at Burnley.

Introduced in the 66th minute, Fuseini immediately stretched The Clarets with direct runs from the right. He saw a left-footed effort blocked from outside the box (77.), then combined down the flank to tee up Joe Ward for a shot that was saved (79.).

His threat ramped up late. A drive from range was blocked in the first minute of second half stoppage time before the Ghanaian sprinted onto a transition pass and drilled low across the goalkeeper in the third minute of second half stoppage time. The move began with Rhian Brewster's release on a fast break, and Fuseini took the chance cleanly to punish Burnley.

He finished with three attempts, one on target and two blocked, plus three accurate passes and three successful final third actions, underlining how his ball-carrying and decision-making tilted the late exchanges in Derby's favour. He also created a chance for Ward, showing end product as well as penetration.

Because the Rams could spring quickly into space after turnovers, Fuseini repeatedly isolated his full-back and attacked the channel. Those runs kept The Clarets pinned and ensured Derby controlled the decisive moments.

Next up, Derby host Wrexham. The Clarets visit Watford. How high would you rate Fuseini's performance tonight?
