OVER! The first signs of life for Burnley after a magical run from Amdouni who shows great footwork to dance around a handful of Villa players. He tries his luck from outside the area but his right-footed whipped effort just drifts narrowly over the bar.

A late free-kick for Villa as Diaz whips in the ball from a central position. Carlos looks to head on it but Trafford comes through a crowded area to get a solid punch on the ball.

CLOSE! Villa so close to a huge chance for a third goal as Diaby surges through the middle of the Burnley defence. He's expertly picked out by Diaz but it's a must-make tackle from Delcroix who dispossesses the Villa winger right before he looked to pull the trigger.

Foster nearly sneaks in behind the Villa defence after a nice, lofted pass from Cullen. The striker loses possession trying to round Olsen on the edge of the box but it wouldn't have counted regardless as the offside flag goes up.
