Turf Moor
(Att: 20650)
As Burnley secured a 1-0 triumph over 10-man Everton in Turf Moor, jeff Hendricks 72nd-minute strike heaped pressure on Marco Silva.
Seamus Coleman was shipped for a second bookable offence (56) to hand the Clarets the initiative, and also Hendrick met Ashley Westwoods corner into volley home the winner as Evertons weakness in set-pieces was more exploited.
Silvas Everton facet jeopardized from the first half with Alex Iwobi guilty of overlooking their two best chances, but it is now one point out of a readily available 12 from Goodison Park, with the Toffees currently in 17th spot, 1 point above the relegation zone.
Move from strength to strength, moving up to fourth at the table following a house Premier League win of the year.
It will be a long fracture for Silva, whose side have now lost four consecutive league games for the first time since January 2015, and also the Achilles heel under his tenure contributed on the street to more anxieties.
Gylfi Sigurdsson had the first chance of the game but Claretskeeper Nick Pope was on hand to trick his free-kick across the post.
Burnley then capitalised on their opponents defensive frailties since Hendrick fulfilled Johann Berg Gudmundssons deep corner to see his volley rescued Jordan Pickford along with his toes.
Iwobi was adjacent to undermine because he watched his shot deflect wide of the post via Ben Mee before he spurned a better chance when Matt Lowton made a block from close selection.
Coleman was lucky after grabbing Erik Pieters around the ankle to get a yellow card, but referee Graham Scott ended goalless.
Colemans reprieve was short lived, however, following grabbing Dwight McNeil within an aerial challenge, since the Everton captain had been ignored 11 minutes, together with referee Scott deeming it worthy of a second booking.
The hosts nearly made the extra man count as Ashley Barnes fulfilled James Tarkowskis flick-on but blazed wide. But Pickford difficulties were being caused by Burnleys corners, and eventually they made one count.
Silvas men didnt learn their lesson in Hendricks first-half chance, along with the Republic of Ireland midfielder – who scored the winner against Everton at Goodison – was available to fire home unmarked from Westwood delivery.
It was the 22nd target Everton have conceded from a set-piece beneath Silva and, their lead could have stretched if Jay Rodriguez was refused by Pickford, while Michael Keane missed a good opportunity to par.
Westwood took advantage of Evertons insistence on zonal indicating with Hendrick lashing in the midfielder delivery to the defining moment of the game.
But it that the 29-year-olds total performance that burst out, with all the Burnley man regaining ownership – more than every other player, along with his game-high 2 passes.
Adhering to the international break, Burnley travel to face Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday October 19 at 3pm, while Everton sponsor West Ham before on exactly the identical afternoon – kick-off is at 12.30pm.
