Burnley became the first team in Premier League history to lose its opening six home games of the season after a 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace at Turf Moor on Saturday.
Jeffrey Schlupp put Palace ahead in the 22nd minute and Tyrick Mitchell´s second Palace goal sealed it in second-half stoppage time as Burnley slumped to a club-record eighth consecutive top-flight home defeat – a run that dates back to the final two fixtures of the 2021-22 campaign in which the team was relegated.
Burnley dominated possession and had 16 shots to Palace´s four but it was the visiting fans singing loudly at the final whistle as Palace recovered from back-to-back defeats to move into the top half of the table.
It was 19th-place Burnley’s ninth defeat overall in 11 games.
