    And now Wood is inches away from connecting with a cross from the right. A flick off the head of Godfrey took the ball away from him.

    Oh, almost an absolute calamity at the back for Everton. Joao Virginia comes out to try and clear a bouncing ball but he misses it and for a second Vydra has the chance to slot home before an Everton defender gets in to hack away.

    This is not a surprise. Joshua King is on for Tom Davies as Everton seek the spark in attack that has faded from their play.

    Burnley also make a change, sending on Robbie Brady for Gudmundsson.

    We've hardly seen anything of Burnley as an attacking force this half, but they almost work an opening in the box through Wood. The Kiwi striker looks to find Vydra for a shooting chance but plays his pass too close to an Everton man, who clears.

    Calvert-Lewin's touch lets him down. It looks like he is in behind the Burnley defence for a moment, but after bringing the ball down it cannons off his shin and allows Pope to gather.

    Digne is down holding his ankle. He was caught by a follow-through from Brownhill.

    Thankfully for Everton, the full-back is quickly back to his feet and ready to crack on. With Pickford already off injured, losing Digne would be a real kick in the teeth.

    Chance. Tough one, mind.

    Gomes swings a free-kick into the box and Michael Keane of all people attempts an acrobatic volley that flies well wide.

    That would have been a collector's item.

    Ben Mee looks to be in a bit of discomfort. He is limping and holding his hip. He's going to carry on, but that is one to watch.

    Millsotheblue: Only Everton could make Burnley look like a top 4 side. Also the same alarming lack of confidence when playing at home.

    Little lull in the game now after that early Everton blitz at the start of the second half. Burnley managing proceedings.

    Digne plays an absolute belter of a cross-field pass right on to the boot of Iwobi, who fails to make anything of it at all.

    He offers flashes that he could kick on, Iwobi. And then puts in a succession of disappointing, ineffective displays. He's done little here so far.

    Still time.

    Everton have charged out of the blocks this half. Digne floats a cross to the near post that Calvert-Lewin meets with is head but nods wide. Should have done better.

    Nick Pope is such a good keeper.

    He keeps Andre Gomes out with a brilliant one-handed save to push a low shot past the post.

  15. 'It was a vital three points'published at 18:29 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2021

    FT: Crystal Palace 1-0 West Brom

    Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "We knew what a difficult game this was going to be. West Brom have improved enormously over the last few weeks. They have really been in with a chance in all of those games. It was very important for us to make certain we answered the questions that were asked of us. We dealt with what West Brom throw at us well. We were fortunate enough to get the penalty which won us the game and it was a vital three points as it kept us a good distance from the bottom three. If we hadn't, we might have found ourselves looking over our shoulder.

    "It's a very good total after 29 games. 37 points from 29 games is an awful lot more than the club is used to having so that's very satisfactory. If we show the commitment that we showed tonight then I am confident we will get ourselves over the line again and Palace will have another season in the Premier League.

    "Christan Benteke not only did his job in holding the ball up in our attack, he did his job in defence too.

    "Wilfried Zaha has put out a statement which is very self-explanatory and the reason he feels the need to make this particular gesture [not taking a knee before kick-off] on his part. He personally feels that taking the knee has lost it's strength because it has become part of our routine. We felt it was absolutely his right to do so. As far as I'm concerned, I will be very surprised if there is any negative publicity for him. If anyone cares about racism and abuse and level playing fields - it's Wilfried Zaha. He is right up there as the main protagonist."

  16. 'We need six wins from nine games'published at 18:29 Greenwich Mean Time 13 March 2021

    FT: Crystal Palace 1-0 West Brom

    West Bromwich Albion

    West Brom manager Sam Allardyce speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "We can't do any more than we are trying to achieve at the moment apart form putting the ball in the net.

    "We used to concede that many that it didn't matter what we did at the other end. We've solved half of the equation. Our shots were far greater than Palace's today but we only had one on target and that's why we're not winning football matches.

    "There's not a natural goalscorer, you need a natural there who can turn a game on its head even if you're not playing great. A natural goalscorer scores one in two or three opportunities. A lot of ours aren't hitting the target.

    "Time has been running out game by game. It's a great shame that we are still on 18 points given the players consistent performance. We should maximum be [on] 27 points, minimum 23 but down to our failings in front of goal we're finding it difficult to get those three points.

    "It has to be six wins out of nine and based on where we are at the moment that is going to be difficult because we can't score enough to get six wins. We need to look at maintaining a level of quality and composure to get better in front of goal. Going into a three week period without a game we can practice but most of those we would want to practice with will be away."

    There is some sad news I have to bring you during this half-time break.

    Former Formula 1 commentator Murray Walker has died at the age of 97.

    Walker commentated on his first grand prix race for the BBC at Silverstone in 1949 and became a full-time F1 commentator in 1978.

    He became synonymous with the sport over more than 30 years of commentating on it, first with the BBC and later with ITV.

    A hugely popular figure in F1, Walker ended his 52-year commentary career when he retired in 2001.

    Our condolences to his family and friends.

    You can read more about Walker and his career here shortly.

    Ben: I reckon that’s the best half of football I’ve seen Burnley play in the Premiere League - we’ve played some lovely attacking football.

    Lutenilawi: It is really nice to see Burnley attacking with intent! Not the drab defensive football we always expect from them

    Well that was a cracking half for us neutrals.

    Maybe not so much if you're an Everton fan.

    The highlight undoubtedly Dwight McNeil's goal. I'm now obliged to tell you to tune in to Match of the Day later to see it.
