- 90'+5'Anyway, that's all from me. I hope you enjoyed following our live text coverage. Until next time, goodbye!
- 90'+5'Burnley remain 15th in the table but are now nine points clear of the relegation zone after registering back-to-back Premier League wins. Can they make it three when they travel to Stamford Bridge next? For Villa, they miss a great chance to move seventh, instead falling a place to 10th. They travel to Southampton next looking to put this disappointment behind them.
- 90'+5'Burnley leave with all three points after a much-improved performance in the second half saw them claim a 3-2 victory over Aston Villa. The visitors were made to pay for not making the most of their dominance when Mee levelled the score at 1-1 in the 52nd minute. Grealish restored Villa's advantage shortly after before two quickfire goals from McNeil and Wood sealed a remarkable win for Dyche's side.
- 90'+5'FULL-TIME: BURNLEY 3-2 ASTON VILLA
- 90'+4'Grealish has the ball at his feet but he's surrounded by Burnley defenders who eventually poke the ball away. Back they come as McGinn floats a cross in but the Burnley defence hold firm.
- 90'+3'Pope, who kept his side in this game for large periods, now takes an age over a goal-kick. The seconds are ticking away.
- 90'+2'After a spell in the left-hand corner, the hosts have it in the right-hand corner as they use all their giule to see this one out.
- 90'+1'In the first of four added minutes, it's Burnley who are on the attack. McNeil drives forward up the left-hand side and wins a corner.
- 90'Burnley have the ball exactly where they want it: in the corner. Eventually, Villa win a goal-kick.
- 88'Davis is on for Luiz in one last throw of the dice for Smith.
- 88'Grealish and McGinn link up well as the visitors probe for an equaliser. However, Burnley are back in numbers, desperate to hang on to the three points.
- 86'Tarkowski, Mee and Pope almost trip over each other and allow Villa a chance to level before the keeper scrambles the ball out for a throw-in.
- 85'Since the start of the 2017/18 season, no player has scored more headed PL goals than Chris Wood (15, level with Harry Kane).
- 83'Traore also makes way, being replaced by Trezeguet.
- 83'Smith turns to the bench as he looks for a way back into the game. Barkley is replaced by El Ghazi.
- 82'Wood has another chance after a free-kick from distance is floated into the box. The New Zealander tries to poke it towards goal but can't wrap his foot round the ball and it's out for a goal-kick.
- 81'Smith must be wondering how his side are behind here.
- 79'After just scoring himself, McNeil adds an assist with his left-footed delivery.
- 79'GOOAAAAAL! BURNLEY LEAD OUT OF NOWHERE! Vydra pulls it back for McNeil on the left and the midfielder shifts the ball out of his feet and puts a teasing cross into the box. Moving backwards, Wood does brilliantly to meet it and pick out the corner to put the hosts ahead. 3-2!
- 78'There's no way McNeil meant that but they all count! It's game on with 12 minutes to play.
- 76'Pieters gets the assist for this one after playing a simple pass to McNeil on his left.
- 76'GOOOAAALL! MCNEIL MAKES IT 2-2! The ball is played out to McNeil after Cash failed to deal with the danger and the midfielder's attempted cross evades everyone in the box before dribbling past Martinez and nestling in the bottom corner. It's a huge slice of luck for Burnley but they won't care!
- 75'It's a third change for Dyche and Burnley. With time running out, Vydra comes on for Rodriguez to see if fresh legs can make the difference.
- 74'Watkins has another shot on goal but once again, Pope gets down well to save comfortably.
- 73'Rodriguez attempts to catch Martinez napping with a long-range volley but gets it all wrong.
- 71'Jack Grealish has now been directly involved in 14 Premier League goals in 18 appearances this season (6 goals, 8 assists), as many as he was in 36 appearances last season (8 goals, 6 assists).
- 68'After being found by Grealish, Luiz returned the favour, allowing his teammate to put Villa back in front!
- 68'It's become the sort of end-to-end spectacle that looked so unlikely after the first half.
- 68'GOOOAAAAAAAL! VILLA LEAD AGAIN! Just as Burnley were looking threatening, Villa are back in front. A fizzed cross from Luiz is brilliantly converted by Grealish whose performance has more than merited a goal! 2-1!
- 66'SAVE! Perhaps inspired by his opposite number, Martinez makes a superb save after Wood strikes a fine first-time effort on goal.
- 64'It's irresistible from Grealish again. Picking the ball up in his own half, he dribbles past everyone who gets in his way before working himself a chance to shoot. His strike is on target, but it's going to take something special to score against Pope who is equal to the task.
- 63'Traore concedes a free-kick for a needless foul on McNeill right in front of the ref.
- 61'McGinn plays a brilliant diagonal ball that looks to have set Grealish through. However, Pope, who has been alert all game, is out of his box quickly to nudge the ball to safety.
- 60'Dyche makes another change as Brady is replaced by Gudmundsson.
- 59'The goal has definitely lifted the Clarets who still have the momentum. A ball over the top almost falls for Wood but Villa's centre-backs do just enough to thwart the New Zealander.
- 58'Loose play from Barkley allows the hosts a chance to counter. The ball is worked to Cork on the left flank who fires in a deep cross but the visitors eventually recover.
- 57'Barkley attempts to pick out Watkins with a well-measured cross but Mee is aware of the danger behind him and heads it clear.
- 56'Mings takes a heavy touch allowing Brady a chance to create something. Villa recover well, however, and eventually reclaim possession and break forward themselves.
- 54'Villa are back on the attack looking to restore their advantage. Traore is bearing down on the Burnley defence, and has options, but tries to place a shot past Pope to no avail. That was a little wasteful.
- 52'It was a brilliant cross from Westwood to set up Mee who could hardly miss.
- 52'GOOOAAALLLL! BURNLEY ARE LEVEL! This is as simple as it gets. The corner is floated into the back post where Mee is on hand to power the ball past Martinez and level things up for the hosts. 1-1!
- 51'Wood and Mings battle on the Villa byline with the Burnley forward ultimately winning out and earning his side a corner.
- 49'SHOT! Grealish lays it off for McGinn after being picked out by Traore. Despite being some distance out, the Scottish international has one thing on his mind and fires a first-time effort that draws a smart save from Pope.
- 45'+2'Smith will be delighted with what he's seen from his side. However, he'll be keen for them to press home their advantage early in the second period. Burnley will need to improve if they are to salvage anything from this game, but at 1-0 anything is possible! The second half is next!
- 48'The omens aren't great for Burnley. They've lost their last nine Premier League games when conceding first.
- 45'+2'Villa take a deserved 1-0 lead into the break. After a quiet opening 10 minutes, the visitors started to find success and took the lead when Watkins converted Targett's pinpoint low cross. There was only really one side in it from there with Grealish in particular looking a threat every time he got on the ball. Barkley went closest to making it two when his volley hit the bar, and Pope produced a number of good saves to keep Burnley in it as half-time approached.
- 45'+2'HALF-TIME: BURNLEY 0-1 ASTON VILLA
- 46'We're back underway for the second half!
- 46'There's a change to report for Burnley at the break. Brownhill, who was a doubt before the game, is replaced by Cork.
- 45'+1'Traore lines up a dangerous free-kick and attempts to pick out the far corner. However, he strikes it all wrong, floating it with little power over the bar.
- 44'SAVE! Grealish's magical pass sets up Targett in the Burnley area. The defender strikes it well and keeps it low but Pope gets down quickly to save with his feet, keeping the contest finely poised.
- 42'SAVE! It's relentless from Villa. After winning a corner and playing it short, Traore is set up for a glaring chance. Pope saves well before being called into action again on the rebound.
- 40'Brady picks the ball up on the right before cutting in and shifting it onto his left foot. The Irishman lets loose a strike but can't keep the ball down and Martinez watches on as it sails over the bar.
- 39'Pope launches the ball forward and it almost works out for Burnley as Wood hunts it down. Martinez remains planted for some reason, meaning his defence are forced to cover.
- 37'Westwood nudges the ball forward in hope more than anything else but Mings is there to head it clear.
- 36'Dyche is cutting a typically animated figure on the touchline. He's giving Tierney an earful about the Villa players going to ground too easily.
- 35'Aston Villa are one of only two teams to win 100% of their PL games when scoring first (9/9) this season, along with Leicester (10/10). Clinical.
- 34'Another nice move from Villa earns them a corner. Barkley takes and it falls nicely for Cash who has a chance on the half volley. But the Englishman gets his timing all wrong and fails to make any sort of contact.
- 32'After a reasonably bright opening 10 minutes, Burnley are really struggling to get anything going.
- 30'WIDE! McGinn's huge diagonal finds Watkins in space behind the Burnley defence. The striker feeds it back to Grealish who tees up Traore to hit but it's just wide of the post.
- 28'SAVE! Grealish is on hand at the edge of the box to fire a volley after Burnley partially clear from the free-kick. He strikes it well but it's straight at Martinez who catches comfortably.
- 28'McNeil is penalised for catching Barkley. The Burnley man is incensed as Barkley fell to the ground well after contact.
- 27'Brownhill takes on an ambitious shot after the loose ball falls for him but Konsa for Villa does well to block.
- 25'Barkley's ball over the top almost falls perfectly for Watkins as Villa probe for a second goal. Tarkowski and Mee do well to cope with the danger.
- 24'Cash launches a throw-in towards Watkins before the Villa forward is penalised for a foul on Mee.
- 22'Tarkowski is the first player to be booked after clattering Watkins from behind and getting nowhere near the ball.
- 21'Ollie Watkins is the second Aston Villa player to reach double figures for goal involvements (8 goals, 2 assists) in the Premier League this season, after Jack Grealish (5 goals, 8 assists).
- 19'McNeil gets a cross into the Villa area that looks perfect for Tarkowski to meet. However, it's just too high for the Burnley defender.
- 17'The visitors are on the attack again and Grealish is once again at the centre of it. The midfielder works his way into the box before cutting it back for Traore to strike. Pope saves well before the linesman raises his flag.
- 14'Targett registers a brilliant assist. He spotted the space and judged his cross to perfection.
- 14'GOOOAAALLLLL! VILLA LEAD 1-0! Grealish probes for some space before feeding Targett on his left. The Englishman fires a cross in that is exquisitely met by Watkins who guides it past Pope into the far corner.
- 13'Traore is penalised for not very much which gives Burnley a chance to get the ball into the box. Villa hold firm though before eventually coming away with the ball. Grealish is free and feeds Watkins to his right but Pope saves well from the Englishman's strike.
- 11'Grealish and Barkley link up well for Villa before the latter tries to fizz a low cross into the box. Mee diverts it out for a corner before the linesman raises his flag for offside against Barkley.
- 9'Rodriguez flicks on a simple ball into the box which is picked up by Brady. The Irishman turns and fires a shot just over the bar but it wouldn't have counted as the linesman's flag was up.
- 7'The visitors seem determined to play out from the back despite coming under pressure from Burnley's high press. It almost gets them in trouble when Westwood appears to dispossess Barkley but the referee blows for a foul.
- 5'Martinez confidently claims from a cross before trying to spark a Villa attack. However, the hosts quickly turn possession over and try to come again.
- 3'Villa win the first corner of the game. Grealish and Watkins play a lovely one-two before Tarkowski diverts a cross out for a corner.
- 1'Referee Paul Tierney blows his whistle and Burnley get this Premier League clash underway!
- 1'The home side are immediately on the attack. First, McNeil almost gets his head to a cross before Brownhill does, failing to challenge Martinez from long range.
- -The teams are emerging from the tunnel. Kick-off is moments away here!
- -Burnley have won just one of their seven Premier League meetings with Aston Villa (D4 L2), a 1-0 away win in May 2015 when the Clarets had already been relegated.
- -Smith has named a largely unchanged side to take on Burnley. McGinn return from suspension meaning Nakamba drops to the bench.
- -Dyche has made seven changes from the team that thumped Fulham 3-0 in the FA Cup. Returning to the starting XI is regular goalkeeper Pope, with Lowton and Mee joining the four-man defence. In midfield, Brady is fit enough to start alongside Westwood, Brownhill and McNeil, while Rodriguez and Wood spearhead the attack.
- -ASTON VILLA SUBS: Keinan Davis, Tom Heaton, Marvelous Nakamba, Jacob Ramsey, Ahmed El Mohamady, Bjorn Engels, Anwar El Ghazi, Neil Taylor, Trezeguet.
- -ASTON VILLA (4-2-3-1): Emiliano Martinez; Matthew Cash, Ezri Konsa Ngoyo, Tyone Mings, Matt Targett; Douglas Luiz, John McGinn; Bertrand Traore, Ross Barkley, Jack Grealish; Ollie Watkins.
- -BURNLEY SUBS: Jack Cork, Josh Benson, Jimmy Dunne, Bailey Peacock-Farrell, Phil Bardsley, Kevin Long, Matej Vydra, Dale Stephens, Johann Gudmundsson.
- -BURNLEY (4-4-2): Nick Pope; Matthew Lowton, James Tarkowski, Ben Mee, Erik Pieters; Robbie Brady, Ashley Westwood, Josh Brownhill, Dwight McNeil; Jay Rodriguez, Chris Wood.
- -After losing three games on the bounce in the midst of a coronavirus outbreak, Villa picked up a welcome three points in their last match against Newcastle. Dean Smith’s side now sit ninth just five points behind Liverpool in fifth but with two games in hand.
- -Hosts Burnley enter the contest on the back of two wins, breaking Liverpool’s unbeaten run at home before following that up with a 3-0 FA Cup triumph over Fulham. Signs are positive for Sean Dyche’s team who sit 15th in the table after a horrific start to the season, but they’ll be looking to improve their scoring record at home. Their five-goal tally is the joint worst in the league.
