MAN OF THE MATCH?

McNeil wonder goal gives Burnley victory at Everton

A spectacular strike from Dwight McNeil proved decisive as Burnley beat Everton 2-1 at Goodison Park.

Burnley went ahead on 13 minutes, Chris Wood scoring for the second successive match.

They doubled their advantage 11 minutes later through a wonderful goal by McNeil. The winger turned past Allan before curling a sumptuous 25-yard shot in off the crossbar.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin's header on 32 minutes, his 14th Premier League goal of the season, reduced the deficit for Everton, who then lost Jordan Pickford through injury.

The home side pressed for an equaliser after the break as Andre Gomes and Calvert-Lewin both went close.

At the other end, Ben Mee headed against the bar while Joao Virginia, Pickford's replacement, stopped Matej Vydra.

The win keeps Burnley 15th on 33 points, seven above the relegation zone.

Everton are sixth on 46 points, five off the top four.
