Burnley’s drop into Championship goes from bad to worse as they blow 4-1 lead to somehow lose under new manager

BURNLEY’S season hit a new low as Fabio Celestini watched his lose despite a three-goal lead with 28 minutes to play.

Alex Robertson’s own-goal put the Clarets 4-1 up in the 62nd minute in Cardiff.

But the Aussie midfielder went from zero to hero as he struck a 95th-minute winner with a rocket from outside the area to leave Burnley in the drop zone.

The winner sent the remaining Bluebirds fans into delirium and had viewers claiming the Championship is the greatest league in the world.

Incredibly, Cardiff were on the reverse end of a three-goal comeback on Wednesday.

Brian Barry-Murphy’s team led West Ham 3-0 at the break, but new boss Scott Parker fired up the Hammers in the dressing room and earned a huge point in his first game in charge.

After a rollercoaster week in which they scored seven goals, Cardiff sit 14th — six points off the playoffs.

Celestini has two points from three matches since replacing Nicky Hayen with Burnley at risk of suffering a double relegation.

Cardiff started brightly and probably should have been awarded a penalty when Rubin Colwill was brought down and the visitors ended up opening the scoring as Andreas Hountondji slid the ball past Nathan Trott.

Marcus Edwards fired in a fine second, before Colwill’s goal-bound effort bounced in off Ollie Tanner.

Largie Ramazani restored the two-goal lead before Robertson diverted Aaron Ramsey’s cross into his own net to make it 4-1.

Yousef Salech, who had just come off the bench, gave his side hope before Jack Moylan scored a penalty to make the visiting fans nervous.

Colwill’s cross found an unmarked Salech to nod in an equaliser before Robertson’s stunner settled a barnstormer.
