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:
9. Wilson Odobert - 5/10
Another tough experience for such a young player, but actually dug in during the second-half and tracked back. Photo: Richard Heathcote
10. Zeki Amdouni - 4/10
Completely ineffective. Was already looking lost and anonymous before he was hooked as Kompany made a tactical switch after the red. Photo: Bryn Lennon
11. David Fofana - 5/10
Headed harmlessly wide, but otherwise lacked service. Denied a late consolation by a bizarre offside call. Photo: Alex Davidson
12. SUB: Josh Cullen - 6/10
For Amdouni, 37 Made a positive impact off the bench. Looked to organise the troops, but alas it wasn't enough. Photo: Charlie Crowhurst
