Charlie Nicholas reflects on Burnley's clash with Everton at Turf

Watch as Charlie Nicholas gives his views on a dramatic match at Turf Moor which saw Burnley beat Everton 2-1 in stoppage time.

Ronald Koeman's team dominated much of the game but came away from it with nothing after a dogged display from their opponents.

Burnley went ahead six minutes before half-time when Sam Vokes tapped in after Maarten Stekelenburg could only parry a shot from Scott Arfield.

Everton responded well and Yannick Bolasie got his first goal for the club shortly before the hour mark to restore parity with a good, low finish.

After defending well, however, Burnley ensured they would take the three points in the final moments through Arfield.

The midfielder scored after Johann Berg Gudmundsson's shot came back off the crossbar and he kept his composure to send a low volley across goal and in.

Although the result does not improve Burnley's league position, they have at least put more space between themselves and the relegation zone.
