'Missed opportunity': Wayne Rooney laments one key aspect of Burnley's display against Everton

Scott Parker’s side squandered a gilt-edged chance to claim a first victory since October after playing out a 0-0 draw at Turf Moor.

The Clarets were the better side and created the better opportunities – but were left to rue some big misses, two in particular from Jacob Bruun Larsen and Zian Flemming.

The latter was denied by the post in the final minute of normal time, while Bruun Larsen had earlier failed to hit the target after being played through on goal by Marcus Edwards.

When asked by Match of the Day presenter Gabby Logan if this was a missed opportunity, Rooney responded: “Yeah, I think it was.

"Everton had Jack Grealish out, [Iliman] Ndiaye, [Kiernan] Dewsbury-Hall and others, so it was a good chance for Burnley to pick up three points.

"They were wasteful. Bruun Larsen has a great opportunity to score but he wastes that opportunity and then the right one right at the end, whether he’s onside or offside remains to be seen, but he has to score.

"Burnley had 16 shots and not one on target. Expected goals was up at 1.65 and touches in the opposition box was high as well, but no shots on target from 16 is not good enough.”
