Burnley moved out of the Premier League relegation zone with a 1-1 draw at Aston Villa in a dramatic night down the bottom.

Ashley Barnes’ penalty late in the first half had put Burnley ahead but Emiliano Buendia equalised early in the second half and the mood became flatter for Mike Jackson’s team with the travelling support acutely aware of Everton’s extraordinary comeback.

Burnley could still have won it had Wout Weghorst not spurned a great chance late on but had to settle for a point – particularly when Matt Lowton was sent off late in the game.

Afterwards, Villa boss Steven Gerrard insisted Barnes should have been sent off prior to his goal for elbowing Tyrone Mings.

Burnley’s draw will be enough to guarantee they will retain their Premier League status as long as they can match Leeds’ result at Brentford when Newcastle come to Turf Moor on Sunday.
