Gudmudsson one-two with Lowton ends up with the Icelandic midfielder crossing deep to Wood, Meslier does well to get a hand to it before recovering to prevent the corner.

Bamford beats the Burnley offside trap and crosses low across the area, Raphina can’t get on the end of it.

Phillips is late on McNeil, stands on his foot, no foul given.
