Burnley must be wondering where their next win is coming from. It has been more than two months and nine games since their most recent one in the Premier League. They were the superior team here on Saturday, but unable to find the goal to close the gap on 17th.
The hosts had more of the ball and had an xG (expected goals) of 1.65, but failed to hit the target from their 16 shots, partially explaining why they find themselves six points from the last safe spot. There was plenty of effort and endeavour from Burnley, but further evidence they lack the quality required. For Everton, in the absence of key personnel, they will be pleased to avoid a third defeat in a row.
