Burnley 2-1 Everton: Scott Arfield scores stoppage time winner

Scott Arfield escaped a red card to strike in stoppage time and give Burnley an unlikely 2-1 win over Everton at Turf Moor.

Sam Vokes' opener from Maarten Stekelenburg's mistake was cancelled out by Yannick Bolasie's first Everton goal, before Arfield grabbed a remarkable winner.

The Canada international was booked in the first half and given a warning before committing more fouls and not being disciplined.

Despite Burnley being on the back foot for much of the game, Arfield's late effort after Johann Berg Gudmundsson hit the bar gave Sean Dyche's men their third home win of the Premier League season.

The fact the Lancashire side took anything from the game at all - even a point would have been a good outcome - was notable given how much Everton dictated play at times.

The Merseysiders had 65 per cent of possession and made more than double the number of chances their opponents created.

Indeed, straight from the off they went on the attack, with Tom Heaton saving well from Ross Barkley, Kevin Mirallas blocked and Bolasie putting an overhead kick wide.

Heaton was again called into action to deny Romelu Lukaku and Barkley once more, while interventions were needed from Michael Keane and Ben Mee to keep the score blank.

Arfield initially saw yellow for taking out Seamus Coleman and was then fortunate only to be told off at length by referee Mike Jones rather than dismissed when he later took out Gareth Barry.

If Everton were aggrieved at that in any way, they would have been infuriated a minute later as the former Falkirk player played a significant part in Burnley going in front.

Arfield burst forward from a deep midfield role with purpose but was running out of steam as he got into the box and his shot towards goal was tame.

Stekelenburg was unconvincing though as he went to save and he weakly palmed straight to Vokes, who probably couldn't believe his good fortune as he poked in to make it 1-0.

Everton replied positively after the break, with Barkley kept out by Heaton and Lukaku just missing a Bolasie cross.

Those two combined to draw the visitors level when Barry found Lukaku and Bolasie muscled his own team-mate off the ball to pull clear and drill a low finish into the net from 15 yards.

Everton continued to press and looked like the side who would go on to find a winner as Keane needed to touch Coleman's ball away from the lurking Lukaku.

Bolasie's deliveries from wide were causing all sorts of problems too - with Heaton getting a crucial hand to one of them as Lukaku again sought to profit.

Former Crystal Palace winger Bolasie's vicious long-range shot needed touched over and with that, a little bizarrely, Everton's tempo dropped and laid a platform for Burnley's winner.

In the first minute of stoppage time, Gudmundsson's shot smacked off the woodwork from 20 yards and Arfield - still on the park rather than replaced for his own benefit - got the winner.

His low half-volley soared past Stekelenburg and as he wheeled away in celebration, even he looked like he was surprised to have had the chance to decide the contest.
