Everton failed to get close to four after suffering a 1-2 home loss to Burnley. All three goals in the match fell in the first half. Chris Wood opened the scoring in favor of the guests with their first shot at the opponent`s goal in the 13th minute. Dwight McNeill`s great goal doubled Burnley`s lead in the 24th minute. Dominic Calvert-Lewin returned a goal in the 32nd minute, but the `caramels` failed to even reach a point.
Carlo Ancelotti`s side have suffered their fourth home loss in their last five Premier League games. Thus, he failed to get close to the fourth Chelsea, which today finished 0-0 with Leeds. The Londoners have a five-point lead over Everton, who are sixth. For Burnley, the success is very valuable, as it moved him 7 points away from the relegation zone.
Burnley have not scored in eight of their away games since the start of the Premier League, and before that game according soccer livescore only Sheffield United had scored fewer goals in the league. However, Sean Deitch`s team started brilliantly at Goodison Park. Josh Brownhill stole the ball from Tom Davis for the first goal scored by Wood. Unusually aggressive at the start, Burnley took the lead with two goals in the 24th minute after a fantastic performance by McNeill. The 21-year-old England international made a great shot and turned the ball to the upper right corner of Pickford.
The guests organized several more good attacks during this period and Gudmundson hit the crossbar shortly after the second goal. The `Caramels` had problems and often lost the ball in the middle of the field, which led to quick attacks of the opponent. However, they quickly managed to return to the match. In the 32nd minute, Davis` cross was intercepted by a header from Calvert-Lewin and the result was 1:2.
The hosts had enough time to turn things around and came out motivated for the second half. Ancelotti`s team created several situations, but failed to score a new goal. Matai Vidra missed twice, and Calvert-Lewin`s shot went past the door. Everton`s troubles were compounded by the injury of Jordan Pickford, who was replaced shortly before the break.
