Burnley 0-2 Crystal Palace: Hosts have now lost six in a row at Turf Moor
Jeffrey Schlupp and Tyrick Mitchell scored as Crystal Palace gave Burnley their sixth consecutive home defeat this season with a 2-0 victory on Saturday, the Eagles’ first win in four Premier League games.
Roy Hodgson’s side climbed provisionally into 10th in the table on 15 points after 11 games, while Vincent Kompany’s beleaguered Clarets, who have yet to win at Turf Moor this campaign, remained firmly in the drop zone with four points.
The home side started well but it was Crystal Palace who got on the scoreboard when Burnley’s dawdling defender Jordan Beyer lost possession to Jordan Ayew and he raced into the box to cross to fellow Ghanaian Schlupp for a tap-in.
Mitchell doubled Palace’s lead in the 94th with a left-footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom right corner.
Burnley’s best chance came a few minutes before the interval when Luca Koleosho raced on to a long pass before a last-ditch sliding tackle from Joachim Andersen halted what had looked like a certain goal.
Burnley vs Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace move into the top half of the Premier League table after a 2-0 victory at Burnley. Although on the back foot for most of the first 22 minutes, the Eagles took the lead against the run of play through Jeffrey Schlupp. Roy Hodgson's side then wrapped up the points in stoppage time when Eberechi Eze set up Tyrick Mitchell to put the game beyond the hosts. Burnley become the first side in English top-flight history to lose each of their opening six home games in a season. The Clarets will desperately seek a response away at Arsenal next Saturday, with Palace hosting Everton on the same day. That's all for today. Thank you for joining us. Until next time, goodbye!

We are into the first of five additional minutes of stoppage time at the end of this game. Can Palace hold on or can Burnley snatch a dramatic equaliser?

CHANCE! Burnley seek the equaliser and O'Shea meets a cross into the box from the right wing. His downward header is creeping into the bottom corner, but Johnstone gets down well to keep it out.

There is a concern for Palace as Edouard stays down and is in need of attention. The visitors will hope he is fine to continue, but will surely ready a substitute for if not.
