Match in a Minute - Burnley 3-2 Crystal Palace with Phil Thompson
Saturday 5 November 2016 20:48, UK
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.
