Burnley’s already slim survival hopes now appear to have all but vanished following a disheartening 1-0 defeat to Everton.

Vincent Kompany’s men knew they realistically had to win this six-pointer at Goodison Park if they were to stand any chance of fulling off a survival miracle.

But Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s freak goal, a direct result of Arijanet Muric’s mistake, decided this game in favour of Sean Dyche’s side.

Matters then went from bad to worse in the second-half when Dara O’Shea was shown a straight red.

Here’s how Burnley’s players rated:

For Odobert, 83Don't recall him seeing a great deal of the ball as Burnley struggled to create anything of real note during the final stages.

For Taylor, 83Conceded possession far too easily, which saw attacks break down and allowed Everton to get up the pitch late on.

For Assignon, 83Had no service. Instead we only really saw him when he sprinted back to stop Everton adding a second.
