Bulldogs snatch golden-point victory over Cowboys

Burton's field goal seals thrilling comeback

Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs star Matt Burton has booted a field goal in golden point to secure a remarkable 15-14 comeback win over the North Queensland Cowboys on Sunday night.

The Bulldogs trailed 14-6 with just minutes remaining in the match, but a late try to Josh Addo-Carr and Burton's conversion sent the game into extra time.

In golden point, Burton slotted a field goal from 35 metres out to give the Bulldogs their first win of the season.

The win will be a huge relief for Bulldogs coach Trent Barrett, who was under pressure after his team's poor start to the season.

It also suggests that the Bulldogs may be premiership contenders this year, despite their tough draw.

The Cowboys, on the other hand, will be disappointed to have let slip a golden opportunity to secure their first win of the season.

They will now face a tough task to make the finals, with just four games remaining in the regular season.

The Bulldogs will take on the Sydney Roosters next Sunday, while the Cowboys will face the Brisbane Broncos.
