Jamie Vardy, Burnley and Wolverhampton Wanderers
16 October 2026
Jamie Vardy scored on his return to English football, but Burnley suffered a 2-1 defeat against Wolves in the Championship. The loss extended Burnley’s extraordinary home league winless run to 21 matches, leaving the club struggling near the bottom of the table.
Vardy gave Burnley the lead before defensive errors allowed Fer Lopez and Tawanda Chirewa to score for Wolves. The visitors completed the comeback in the second half and climbed to sixth place. Burnley have recorded 11 defeats and 10 draws during their home winless streak, which the supplied report describes as the longest across England’s top four divisions.
