Double blow for Burnley as pair of defenders forced off vs Crystal Palace
Last Updated: February 14, 2021 2:08 pm
Burnley were this evening dealt a concerning pair of blows on the personnel front, during the club’s meeting with Crystal Palace.

Sean Dyche’s men made the trip to Selhurst Park a short time ago, for their latest Premier League outing.
The Lancashire outfit headed into proceedings in search of a bounce-back result, amid a dip in form over the last couple of weeks.
Such struggles left Burnley sitting just one spot clear of the relegation zone, and 6 points adrift of their hosts this afternoon, ahead of kick-off.

When all was said and done in the capital, though, to say that the Clarets managed to bounce back would be something of an understatement.
A remarkable 90 minutes eventually saw Dyche and co. emerge on the right side of a 3-0 scoreline, in a major boost to the club’s survival hopes.
Goals from Johann Gudmundsson and Jay Rodriguez got Burnley off to a flyer inside the opening 10 minutes at Selhurst, before Matt Lowton’s wonderful strike early in the 2nd-half essentially killed the game off as a contest:

Defensive concerns
Burnley have now climbed above both Brighton and Newcastle in the Premier League table, a full 11 points clear of the relegation zone.
As outlined above, however, an otherwise superb afternoon’s work for the Clarets was soured to at least some degree inside the closing 10 minutes of action.
First, after being involved in a nasty collision which left the stopper out cold on the turf, Ben Mee was stretchered off to be replaced by Kevin Long:

Then, remarkably, just minutes later, it was Erik Pieters’ turn to depart proceedings, after the Burnley full-back pulled up with what appeared to be a groin problem:
