The Premier League relegation battle took yet another dramatic twist as Burnley recorded a late 3-2 win over rivals Everton at Turf Moor on Wednesday night. The Clarets came from behind to earn a vital victory in their pursuit of staying in the division, leaving Frank Lampard still without an away win during his time in charge of the Toffees.
On a nervous, tense evening in Lancashire, Burnley took the lead in the 12th minute as Nathan Collins headed home Maxwel Cornet's corner. However, the Toffees hit back before the break as through a quick-fire Richarlison double, with the Brazilian slotting home two penalties to give them the advantage.
Despite going into the second-half with the momentum, Everton failed to kill the game off and allowed the Clarets back into proceedings as they levelled on 53 when Jay Rodriguez tapped home from close-range. With the contest finely balanced, it was Burnley who won it with moments to go as Cornet struck to send the home fans wild.
