As you say it is a mystery, but a lot of it comes down to a bit of luck.
Weghorst's goal was a beauty, however, he did not have to jump to score it and that is why he got so much power into the header.
The header was a beauty but jump or no jump
Is nothing to do with it ( it was special ).

The short comings at Burnley are he gets no service from the bi line width as we simply don’t play that way , yes we deliver ball in the box but from deeper positions generally , and let’s be honest most of the ball played up to him he has his back to goal as did Wood before him.

Posted this before weghorst isn’t a bad player the Burnley system was flawed that’s all and at the end we simply couldn’t deliver enough from wide positions- Mcneil - gone of the boil doesn’t drop his shoulder and beat a man and deliver ball for the forwards coming on to it JBG ( sick note - say no more ) , Lennon made the runs to do this but doesn’t receive the ball to carry it out .
I posted many times about our wide men constantly narrowing play , they come all the way back to the half way line to what I call hold hands with our full backs ( in fact our full backs have more idea about going past a man and delivering ball than any of our wide players.)
When you take the above into consideration you can see why someone like weghorst and wood are starved of service
