TWO own goals saw Burnley suffer their second defeat in the first two Championship games.
Both Graham Alexander and Stephen Jordan put through their own net, to add to Liam Trotter's first half opener, to leave the Clarets pointless after two matches.
Click here to view our photo gallery from the gameThe game finally got underway at 3-52 p.m., after an incredible incident delayed kick-off.
The matchball was delivered in spectacular fashion, with six Red Devils parachuting onto the pitch, but the seventh landed on the roof of the Cricket Field Stand, and the game was subsequently delayed due to the safety implications.
The Fire Brigade were summoned to rescue the parachutist, who was marooned for the best part of an hour, with a terrific view of Burnley's Lancashire Cricket League game with Bacup!
Owen Coyle made one change from the team that won 2-0 at Bury on Tuesday night.
Clarke Carlisle has come straight into the starting line-up after completing his two-match suspension, and the man to make way is Christian Kalvenes, with Stephen Jordan moving to left back.
2 mins - After the incident-packed build-up to the game, within a minute of kick-off, former Claret Alan Lee barged into Joey Gudjonsson off the ball, in a dispute over a free kick, and, incredibly, Lee escaped punishment.
