Heading into the game off the back of a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Arsenal, Vincent Kompany’s men needed to issue a response.
But the Clarets never got going at Selhurst Park, even before they were reduced to 10 men when Josh Brownhill was dismissed for a straight red.
While Burnley put up some resistance, they eventually folded when Palace grabbed their first goal and ended up losing 3-0.
Here’s how Burnley’s players rated:
5. Charlie Taylor - 5/10
Set the tone with an overhit passback that could have spelled a calamitous start. But made some important blocks on his return to the side. Photo: Shaun Botterill
6. Josh Brownhill - 4/10
Sent off as a result of James Trafford’s suicidal pass out from the back. Had no option but to bring Lerma down. Photo: Alex Davidson
7. Sander Berge - 5/10
Often outnumbered in the middle of the park but his height came in handy defending Palace's numerous corners. Photo: Alex Davidson
8. Johann Gudmundsson - 5/10
Quiet once again. Stayed in shape and carried out his defensive duties, but didn't notice him a great deal. Photo: Alex Davidson
