Burnley 0 – 2 C Palace

Burnley became the first team in English top-flight history to lose their first six home games of a season as Crystal Palace earned a 2-0 win at Turf Moor.

Jeffrey Schlupp slid home Jordan Ayew’s low cross before half-time following a defensive mistake from Jordan Beyer in Palace’s first attack of note in Lancashire.

The hosts deserved to end their losing home run but Johann Berg Gudmundsson, Zeki Amdouni and Jay Rodriguez passed up chances in either half.

As they committed players forward late on they were caught out on the counter-attack as the returning Eberchi Eze teed up Tyrick Mitchell for an injury-time second.

Vincent Kompany’s side have now lost all of their home games since their Premier League return to Manchester City, Aston Villa, Tottenham, Manchester United, Chelsea and Saturday’s visitors Palace, who rose into the top half after a first win in four league games.
