Cornet strikes as Burnley recover to beat relegation rivals Everton

Maxwel Cornet scored five minutes from time as Burnley beat Premier League relegation rivals Everton 3-2 in a see-saw clash at Turf Moor on Wednesday.

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.

Lampard said "individual mistakes" had cost his side, with the former England midfielder telling the BBC: "They have to keep going. If we didn't know we were in a fight before, they certainly do now.

"It doesn't feel nice tonight."

Burnley boss Sean Dyche said he had reminded his team of Everton's poor away record as he hailed a "very important win".

Dyche also told Sky Sports: "At half-time I said we need to get back to basics."

"Sometimes the mentality is hard. I've been down there, every season there are tough patches for us. You sense a team doesn't know how to win a game, I said to our players that this lot don't know how to win a game away from home.

"It wasn't
