Burnley

Burnley recorded what could be a precious point in their quest to maintain their Premier League status as they held Aston Villa to a 1-1 draw.

86' - ALMOST A BURNLEY WINNER! Mings to the rescue! 48' - GOAL! ASTON VILLA 1-1 BURNLEY (EMI BUENDIA): That's how to make amends! 48' - GOAL! ASTON VILLA 1-1 BURNLEY (EMI BUENDIA): That's how to make amends! Indeed, Pope has been integral to Burnley throughout the season and it's thanks, in part, to his brilliance that the Clarets start the final round of fixtures with a much healthier goal difference than rivals Leeds. Pope's athleticism and reflexes were, once again, vital to earning the Clarets a share of the spoils as he made no fewer than eight saves. subs: Traore 6, Ings 6, Coutinho 6.

Goalkeeper Nick Pope's masterclass ensured the Irish-influenced Clarets left Villa Park with an invaluable point.

Until then Villa had bossed possession and the chance gave Burnley enough encouragement to get more of a grip of the second half – only to need Pope to ensure they claimed a point. There was swift redemption for Buendia as McGinn spotted his run from deep and, with Burnley failing to track the Argentina international, he met the ball on the volley for it to squirm past Pope. Long failed to clear Jacob Ramsey’s pass with the ball bouncing to McGinn for the midfielder to crack a half volley from 20 yards, only to be again denied by a stretching Pope.

No thanks to Argentine that Burnley's battle for their top-flight status goes to the wire against Newcastle United this Sunday.

The power was too much for Pope, who got a good hand to the shot but couldn’t prevent the ball bouncing past him. Burnley were struggling to stem the flow of deliveries from Villa’s left and this time an excellent cross from Jacob Ramsey found McGinn 20 yards out for a rising shot that was superbly clawed away by Pope. The Clarets came up the same season Villa went down, in 2015-16, and for the early stages of the game, it looked the teams were heading in different directions again. That feeling certainly persisted in the early stages as Villa made a rousing start to proceedings, dismissing any notion that they have hit the beaches prematurely. But it still looked a formidable task for Burnley to get the result they were looking for. By contrast, mid-table Villa will have an influence on matters at the other end of the table as they have the chance to be party poopers at Manchester City’s potential Premier League title crowning.
