Burnley 2-1 Everton

Substitute Chris Wood rose above Michael Keane to head Burnley's winner against Everton

Burnley ended a run of 11 Premier League matches without a win by coming from behind to beat Everton at Turf Moor.

Substitute Chris Wood took advantage of woeful defending to head in the winner from Johann Berg Gudmundsson's corner on 80 minutes.

Cenk Tosun had put the visitors in front on 20 minutes with his first Everton goal, heading past Burnley keeper Nick Pope from Seamus Coleman's neat flick.

The Clarets responded superbly, forcing Jordan Pickford into three excellent saves before Ashley Barnes equalised by converting Matthew Lowton's immaculate through ball from deep.

A dreadful second half from Everton was compounded by the sending-off of captain Ashley Williams for elbowing Barnes late on.

Victory takes Burnley five points behind sixth-placed Arsenal and is the first time they have won in the Premier League under Sean Dyche after conceding first.

England's next number one?

With Gareth Southgate in attendance at Turf Moor, Pickford and Pope had the opportunity to advance their claims to be part of England's World Cup squad this summer.

Southgate's decision may be no clearer after the game - while Pope was perhaps more solid overall, Pickford provided the spectacular.

The Everton keeper made three tremendous saves, the first a dive to his right to keep out Barnes' sharp header from Lowton's cross on 30 minutes.

After the interval, Pickford produced an excellent one-handed stop to his left to thwart Aaron Lennon's curving strike before tipping over Ben Mee's glancing header from the resulting corner.

Yet, while his shot-stopping was prodigious, his decision-making was contentious.

He could perhaps have been quicker off his line for Barnes' equaliser, and could not battle through the bodies to claim Gudmundsson's corner for the winner - although his defenders were most at fault for both.

Pope, meanwhile, made three more regulation saves but looked composed, continuing to impress in the absence of the injured Tom Heaton.

Pickford and Pope could well be involved in Southgate's squad for matches against the Netherlands and Italy at the end of March but, with Joe Hart still out of West Ham's starting XI, both may have to do more to be England's next number one.

One run ends, another drags on

Burnley had not won in the league since a 1-0 victory over Stoke on 12 December but had clung onto seventh place thanks to six draws and the erratic form of the sides below them.

This win takes Dyche's men to 40 points, already matching their total from last year as they look to finish seventh, which would mean they qualify for the Europa League if one of the top six sides wins the FA Cup.

Despite Tosun's opener, the hosts were the brighter side in the early stages, with Barnes a constant menace for a shaky Everton defence and Lennon impressing against his former club.

Right-back Lowton was outstanding, his through ball from near the halfway line weighted perfectly for Barnes to collect and score.

Tosun linked up well with Theo Walcott and Gylfi Sigurdsson in the first half but Everton fell away after the break, extending their poor away form to five straight Premier League defeats on the road.

Sigurdsson had a chance to restore Everton's lead two minutes before Wood scored but sliced wide after a brilliant first touch, yet it was weak defending that again undid Sam Allardyce's side.

Wood easily evaded Williams to leap over Michael Keane for the winner, with the frustrated Toffees captain then clashing with Barnes in the Burnley area late on to be dismissed by referee Chris Kavanagh on another miserable away day for Everton.

'Unprofessional' Williams caps miserable day

Williams caught Barnes with his elbow, and did not protest when he was sent off.

After the match, Allardyce told Sky Sports he had "no complaints" with the red card, adding Williams had been "unprofessional".

Considering Everton's defensive frailty, an enforced change of personnel at the back may be a blessing over the next three matches, with Phil Jagielka close to returning to fitness.

"I feel worse than the fans - they won't believe this - but it's my responsibility," Allardyce told BBC Sport.

The reaction from the travelling Everton fans at the final whistle suggests Allardyce was right about that disbelief.

Man of the match - Matthew Lowton (Burnley)

Burnley right-back Lowton was impressive throughout, particularly his curving assist from deep to set up Barnes' equaliser

'It's simply not good enough' - reaction

Burnley manager Sean Dyche, speaking to Match of the Day: "It was a thorough performance and winning one. The were some quality moments in it, especially the pass from Lowton for Barnes' goal - it was as good a pass as you will see.

"We have more to do. We wanted to correct the run and we have done that. Hopefully that freedom in the second half is something we can carry on."

Everton manager Sam Allardyce on Match of the Day: "We lost it by not scoring the second goal when we had clear, clear opportunities.

"We gifted them a goal which lifted the spirits around the ground. And I always dislike conceding from a corner, it could be avoided. That's five away defeats on the trot. It's simply not good enough.

"I feel worse than the fans - they won't believe this - but it's my responsibility. I go home and say to myself 'how do I put this right?' For me to see the players under perform in the second half is very disappointing for me. It's my problem to sort it out."
