Norwich City vs Burnley player ratings as substitute Dwight McNeil stands out in damaging defeat at Carrow Road

Burnley’s defeat to bottom-of-the-table Norwich City demonstrated the highs, lows, ups and downs of the Premier League.

Just days after a significant win over Everton in the race for survival, the Clarets were beaten at Carrow Road as the gap to safety returned to four points.

Maxwel Cornet missed a game-defining chance in the second half as the Ivorian somehow managed to turn Dwight McNeil’s cross past Tim Krul from two yards out as the visitors trailed to Pierre Lees-Melou’s eighth minute goal.

The Canaries’ opener came courtesy of a deflection off Josh Brownhill, who failed to get out to the Frenchman in time after the ball broke from a corner. The finish was just out of reach of Nick Pope as the ball crashed in off the inside of the post.

Teemu Pukki then doubled the advantage with minutes remaining after Burnley’s defence went walkabout.

Here are the ratings.
