Crystal Palace recovered from back-to-back defeats to edge past struggling Burnley and climb to fifth in the Premier League.<\/p>\n
Beaten by Strasbourg and Manchester United in their last two games, Oliver Glasner’s side got the decisive goal before half-time when Daniel Munoz nodded Marc Guehi’s floated delivery in at the back post for his fourth goal this season.<\/p>\n
The visitors’ only other shot of the first half came from Jean-Philippe Mateta, who did brilliantly to shrug off the challenge of Hjalmar Ekdal before firing straight at goalkeeper Martin Dubravka from a tight angle.<\/p>\n
Burnley had the early lion’s share of possession, but created little going forward. Jaidon Anthony forced a fine save out of Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson in their best opportunity prior to the interval.<\/p>\n
A flurry of second-half substitutions by Clarets manager Scott Parker appeared to spark the home side into life, and they were unfortunate not to restore parity when Jacob Bruun Larsen’s powerful close-range effort was brilliantly tipped on to the crossbar by Henderson.<\/p>\n
Palace defender Chris Richards also prevented Armando Broja’s late header from trickling over the line after the Albanian striker had beaten Henderson deep inside the box.<\/p>\n
However, that was the closest Burnley came to finding an equaliser as they slipped to a fifth successive league defeat and remain second bottom in the table.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Crystal Palace recovered from back-to-back defeats to edge past struggling Burnley and climb to fifth in the Premier…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":330067,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-330066","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-soccer","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/330066","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=330066"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/330066\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/330067"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=330066"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=330066"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=330066"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
