Phil Thompson looks back on Burnley's 3-2 win over Crystal Palace at Turf Moor

Sky Sports pundit Phil Thompson gives his take on Burnley's 3-2 win against Crystal Palace at Turf Moor on Saturday.

An injury-time strike from striker Ashley Barnes sealed Burnley's victory.

The home side had appeared to be cruising towards a comfortable victory when leading 2-0 at the break thanks to early goals from Sam Vokes, after just 78 seconds, and Johann Berg Gudmundsson.

However, Palace boss Alan Pardew's double substitution just before the hour-mark paid immediate dividends, with striker Connor Wickham reducing the deficit with his very first touch.

When Christian Benteke converted an 81st-minute penalty, it appeared as though the spoils would be shared, only for Barnes to make a last-gasp intervention.

As a result, Burnley have jumped up to ninth in the Premier League table following their fourth home win of the season, while Palace have slipped to 15th after picking up only one point from their last six league games.
