Crystal Palace beat beleaguered Burnley 2-0

Jeffrey Schlupp and Tyrick Mitchell scored as Crystal Palace gave Burnley their sixth consecutive home defeat this season with a 2-0 victory on Saturday, the Eagles' first win in four Premier League games.

Roy Hodgson's side climbed provisionally into 10th in the table on 15 points after 11 games, while Vincent Kompany's beleaguered Clarets, who have yet to win at Turf Moor this campaign, remained firmly in the drop zone with four points.

The home side started well but it was Crystal Palace who got on the scoreboard when Burnley's dawdling defender Jordan Beyer lost possession to Jordan Ayew and he raced into the box to cross to fellow Ghanaian Schlupp for a tap-in.

Mitchell doubled Palace's lead in the 94th with a left-footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom right corner.

Burnley's best chance came a few minutes before the interval when Luca Koleosho raced on to a long pass before a last-ditch sliding tackle from Joachim Andersen halted what had looked like a certain goal.
