Sean Dyche's side have mustered just three shots on target in four Premier League games and they already trailed Villa by two goals when registering their first of 2020. Wesley and Jack Grealish were on the scoresheet for the visitors before Chris Wood responded. Here's how the players rated...
9. Dwight McNeil 6
The winger was the only player in a Burnley shirt who injected any kind of creativity in to the first half. Always had the beating of Taylor and constantly constantly looking to get on the ball.
10. Ashley Barnes 4
Seven games without a goal now for the striker and he's been struggling to get close. Fired one well over Heaton's crossbar in the first half while a sliced volley almost went out for a throw-in.
11. Chris Wood 5
Scored with what was only Burnley's third effort on target in four Premier League games, but could have had more. Should have done better with passes from both Taylor and Westwood in the second half.
12. Johann Berg Gudmundsson 5
Replaced Brady at the break and helped to turn the tide in the home side's favour. Delivery needs to improve, but that will come with games, and he needs to start for the Clarets.
