Late goals were the order of the day in another exciting afternoon of Premier League action.

Matt Ritchie was on hand to smash a half-volley in at the back post against former side Bournemouth as Newcastle snatched the latest of points. Javier Hernandez scored twice in the final embers as West Ham left bottom club Huddersfield contemplating another away defeat.

And Wes Morgan's late strike proved the winner for 10-man Leicester as Burnley's relegation fears worsened.

As it stands: Bournemouth, West Ham and Leicester are pretty secure in their league positions.

Huddersfield are also secure but only because they're bottom of the Premier League with no chance to get out of the relegation zone.

Newcastle have been in good form recently and a win today would move them nine points clear of the bottom three.

Burnley are still hovering over the drop zone but a victory over Leicester would see them move five points clear of Cardiff

The fans are wrapped up in raincoats and ponchos at Turf Moor as the rain is hammering down.

Just a typical day up North!

Burnley 0 - 0 Leicester

Chris Wood gets the ball down the left hind side but is ruled offside. Burnley are on the back of three poor results so they need something out of this game today.

Burnley 0 - 0 Leicester

Gudmundsson gets in behind the Leicester defence and Harry Maguire had to challenge him and clips his heel. 

Burnley get a free kick on the edge of the box and Maguire is sent off!
