But Douglas Luiz’s 89th minute penalty handed Unai Emery’s men a 3-2 win in a game mired by controversy.
Here’s how Burnley’s players rated:
5. Charlie Taylor - 7/10
Had plenty to deal with on the right flank with the lively Leon Bailey and Mo Diaby but stuck to his task well and defended resolutely. Photo: Richard Heathcote
6. Josh Brownhill - 7/10
Came close with a couple of low efforts from the edge of the box and produced another good shift in the middle of the park. Photo: Richard Heathcote
7. Sander Berge - 5/10
A soft dismissal, but he was asking for trouble tugging on a shirt when already on a booking. Had previously done pretty well up to that point. Photo: Richard Heathcote
8. Johann Gudmundsson - 7/10
Delivered the free-kick for Burnley’s first equaliser and flicked on the header for Foster’s goal. Did a job defensively too. Photo: Mike Hewitt
