BURNLEY: Maxwel Cornet scored five minutes from time as Burnley beat Premier League rivals Everton 3-2 in a see-saw clash at Turf Moor on Wednesday.
Victory saw Burnley remain in the relegation zone but move to within a point of Everton.
Burnley took an early lead through Nathan Collins’ first goal for the club but fell behind before half-time as Richarlison twice scored from the penalty spot.
Jay Rodriguez equalised in the 56th minute before Cornet’s first goal since his return from the Africa Cup of Nations in January gave Burnley their first win in six games.
It was also just the Clarets’ fourth win in 29 league games so far this season, with Burnley having lost their last four games without scoring a goal.
The result meant Everton had now suffered six straight away defeats in the Premier League and facing the prospect of playing second-tier football for the first time in 68 years, with manager Frank Lampard’s dismay visibly evident at full-time.
