Burnley’s already slim survival hopes now appear to have all but vanished following a disheartening 1-0 defeat to Everton.

Vincent Kompany’s men knew they realistically had to win this six-pointer at Goodison Park if they were to stand any chance of fulling off a survival miracle.

But Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s freak goal, a direct result of Arijanet Muric’s mistake, decided this game in favour of Sean Dyche’s side.

Matters then went from bad to worse in the second-half when Dara O’Shea was shown a straight red.

Here’s how Burnley’s players rated:

One of Burnley’s best chances fell to him, when he saw his back post shot well blocked. Pretty solid defensively.

Neat and tidy as we’ve come to expect, even when put under pressure. Took good care of the ball.

Did well aerially and put in a good shift, but didn’t see a great deal of the ball to have an influence on the game.

Caught out defensively by an early diagonal ball and fired a free-kick narrowly over, before being brought off straight after the O’Shea red card.
