Frustration is growing at Turf Moor over the abject nature of their futile attempts to stay in the Premier League. Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo condemned Burnley to their 11th home defeat in 14 matches to provide Bournemouth with a first victory since Boxing Day.
The form table does not lie and the teams arrived as the two worst in the league, having secured five points between them in the calendar year. Neither showed much in the way of confidence and, despite being far the better team, Burnley rarely looked like scoring, instead having to accept a fate with which they have become far too familiar, leading to upset in the stands.
“That is the same after every defeat in every club,” Kompany said of the boos. “I have known nothing else my entire career but as long as they are there at the start and supporting you throughout the game, then it is just something that you have to deal with in football.”
