Burnley vs Aston Villa
Matty Cash’s brace and Moussa Diaby’s second-half strike saw Villa see off a spirited Burnley fightback to win 3-1 away at Turf Moor. Unai Emery’s side raced into a two-goal lead at the break after two goals from wing-back Cash inside the first 20 minutes. Burnley hit back straight after the breakthrough Lyle Foster’s 47th-minute effort as the Clarets pilled on the pressure in search of an equaliser. But it would be Villa who got the vital next goal when the impressive Diaby added to his first-half assist with a well-taken finish to restore Villa’s two-goal advantage and secure back-to-back Premier League wins for the Villans.

CHANCE! Rodriguez has been involved plenty since coming off the bench. This time he meets Cullen’s cross before Olsen but can’t get enough on the ball to divert it on target.

Olsen has to react sharply as Rodriguez’s cross is deflected goalwards off Torres. It’s a smart save from the keeper but the flag is up anyway.

OVER! Rodriguez with a chance straight off the bench but, on the spin, the Englishman can only blaze over the bar from the edge of the box. A big chance, that, late in the game.
