Burnley vs. Everton: Five things we learned

Lacklustre Blues fall to late winner as Burnley complete their smash and grab.

Everton remained on top of the game from the first minute to the last, but it was a Maarten Stekelenburg howler and a late goal from Scott Arfield that sunk the blues as their torrid run continues.

The Toffees had the majority of the ball but it was in the final third that they were unable to capitalise on the pressure, the front three of Mirallas, Lukaku and Bolasie all being frustrated by a stubborn Burnley defence.

Bolasie gave the traveling support hope as he blasted a low shot into the far corner in the second-half, with the Blues piling on the pressure after that. With Everton having set their sights firmly on all three points, Burnley looked to counter-attack and did so effectively in the 90th minute when a shot came back off the bar, Arfield providing the finish to sink the Toffees.

Ronald Koeman must now lift the team ahead of a difficult game against West Ham at Goodison after the Hammers scored a late goal to down Sunderland this afternoon.

matchday.
