Palace move into European place after win at struggling Burnley

Crystal Palace survived a late onslaught from Burnley to secure a 1-0 win away from home.

A floated cross from Marc Guehi found Daniel Muñoz who made fantasy football fans very happy as he produced a diving header to score the only goal of the game. 

Jean-Philippe Mateta saw an early effort pushed away by Martin Dúbravka at his near post as both sides were toothless in front of goal before Muñoz stepped up just before the break. 

Mateta saw another effort saved by the Burnley keeper before The Clarets applied heavy pressure towards the end. Jacob Bruun Larsen forced a sublime save from Dean Henderson, before Armando Broja saw his header cleared off the line by Chris Richards. Keeping Burnley 19th in the league as they suffered a fifth defeat in a row.

The Eagles now sit 5th in the table, coming back with a win after sustaining a home defeat to Manchester United on the weekend.
