    • 86' GOAL!!!! HESKEY EQUALISES FOR VILLA! The big striker rises high to head home from Milner's whipped cross from the right wing and Villa are level at Turf Moor!

    • 83' Milner and Ashley Young combine down the right to good effect before a free kick is awarded at Bikey's expense.
    • 80' O'Neill goes further on the attack as he brings on Emile Heskey to replace Luke Young as he bolsters his forward line.
    • 77' Warnock makes a stunning tackle as Nugent looks to be through on goal but is sharply dispossessed.
    • 75' Nugent shows his fresh legs with a fine chase to keep the ball in down the left at the by-line, but his cross goes to no one.
    • 73' David Nugent comes on to replace Fletcher as Coyle makes his second change.
    • 70' Steve Sidwell is replaced by Stewart Downing as Martin O'Neill makes his first change.
    • 69' Kevin McDonald comes on for Burnley in place of Chris Eagles as Owen Coyle looks to shore up his midfield.
    • 67' Villa are back on the attack and pressing hard in the Burnley half, but the hosts are defending very stoically still.
    • 65' Burnley break through Blake down the left as Villa finally have some defending to do in this second half.
    • 63' What a delivery from Ashley Young! The winger whips in a stunning corner from the left with his right foot and the ball is almost turned into the net by Dunne and Carew among a pile of bodies - a good chance for Villa!
    • 61' Agbonlahor is battling hard for Villa and chases hard once more down the left.
    • 59' Cuellar slides the ball down the line to Milner and the England midfielder clips a pass to the back post but Jensen claims the high ball.
    • 57' Young whips in a delightful delivery from wide on the left, but it goes over the head of Carew, who jumps rather early.
    • 56' Luke Young plays the ball down the line to Petrov, but another Villa attack peters out.
    • 55' Cuellar reads Elliott's pass superbly to beat Fletcher to the ball in the Villa box.
    • 53' Milner flicks the ball on to Carew superbly but the big striker is muscled off the ball by Carlisle - great defending.
    • 52' Blake forages his way down the left once more and cuts the ball back for Fletcher, but Dunne intervenes.
    • 51' Tyrone Mears steps up and curls his free-kick over the bar from 25 yards, but that was a promising position.
    • 49' Replays show that Warnock's corner struck Carlisle on the hand inside the Burnley box, but it was certainly accidental and the referee may not have even seen it.
    • 47' Warnock whips in a low corner from the right which Cuellar almost gets on the end of as Bikey slips, but he cannot quite.
    • 46' The second half is underway at Turf Moor with Burnley going straight on the attack through Blake down the left.

    • 45' Just one minute will be added at the end of this first half with just one major incident being the goal.
    • 44' Blake looks aghast as a very promising run is ended abruptly by the referee for a nothing foul by the winger.
    • 43' Alexander plays a neat ball inside to Bikey, who attempts an outrageously-optimistic shot from range.
    • 42' Warnock does well to shepherd the ball out of play as Eagles puts yet more pressure on the left-back.
    • 41' O'Neill looks a forlorn figure in his drenched coat as he barks instructions to his players amid a howling gale.
    • 40' Young drifts a decent delivery to the back post but it is too deep for Carew and Jensen lets it run out of play.
    • 39' What a chance for Ashley Young! A through ball by Petrov finds Agbonlahor out on the left, but Jensen inexplicably races out of his goal to challenge for and is nowhere near. The ball breaks out to Young with an open goal, bar the retreating Mears and Carlisle, but he blazes his shot over!
    • 37' A slick interchange between Young and Cuellar beats the onrushing Elliott as Villa bring the ball forward.
    • 36' Eagles, back on the right now, dinks a delightful ball to the back post which evades everyone in the box to his misfortune.
    • 35' Sidwell clatters Bikey, who was moving at pace past halfway, and the Villa midfielder is booked for that infringement.
    • 33' Mears heads out of play for Burnley, who are kept on the back foot by Villa but are defending stoutly.
    • 32' Dunne is beaten to the ball by Bikey in the Villa box from Blake's outswinging corner out on the right, but the defender's header goes over.
    • 31' Agbonlahor challenges with Jordan for an aerial ball following Petrov's dinked delivery from the right - passing will be at a premium in these conditions!
    • 29' Blake shows terrific poise out on the left for Burnley to beat Young and find Fletcher at the back post, but his header sails over the bar - a good chance!
    • 28' Sidwell drives a low shot miles wide of Jensen's near post, and that was a poor effort with three team-mates either side of him.
    • 27' Dunne and Caldwell jostle in the Burnley box as another Villa set-piece is launched into a crowd of bodies.
    • 26' Carew and Agbonlahor combine to good effect before Caldwell intervenes to alleviate the danger.
    • 24' Mears and Carlisle challenge for everything in uncompromising fashion, which is just the way you need to play in these conditions.
    • 23' Villa are not able to create anything at the moment as another long ball up to Carew runs through to Jensen.
    • 22' Mears strides purposefully through the Villa half before he is barged off the ball by Dunne - that was certainly a booking.

    • 19' Fletcher and Blake combine before the latter is floored by a robust challenge from Milner - a definite free-kick.

    • 12' GOAL!!! Steven Caldwell rises above a cluster of Villa players to nod home the opener and put Burnley in front from Blake's free-kick!
    • 11' Carlisle is among the Burnley players to pile into the box as Fletcher prepares to whip in a free kick from out on the left.
    • 9' The rain continues to come down heavily as Burnley keep Villa under the cosh in their half.
    • 8' Wade Elliott produces a good run down the left for Burnley after powering his way through the Villa half from midfield.
    • 7' Warnock - a former Blackburn player, of course - receives some fearful abuse from the locals as he storms down the left.
    • 6' Mears clears under pressure from Warnock as Villa press high up the field.

  1. Lads, I admire your pride in Burnley and in Turfmoor,­ however whilst Villa did not "spank" you, we­ are still 5 places and 5 points and 18 goals better off­ than you!! I recall Hull having a great start to the­ season and getting good results but ending up narrowly­ missing relegation, I don't see Burnley being any­ different, it is a long season and lets be honest, you­ are only 6 points off relegation with far superior­ teams like Everton Blackburn West Ham and Fulham, to­ name a few, waiting to pass you which they will do in a­ matter of a few games, enjoy the premiership while you­ can!!

    From darren, on Thu 26 Nov 1:03AM

  2. Comment Two you dont understand Burnley do you.The team­ comes from a small town ok but the passion still burns­ brightly it always has in the 1960s Harry Potts created­ one of the best teams ever seen in these Islands,it­ would still be more than a match for most teams now­ Jimmy Mac would be worth at least 45 Million,this­ spirit still lives at Turfmoor and the flame burns­ brightly once more just as it did in the early 1960s­ when the CLARET AND BLUE of BURNLEY was among the most­ feared colours in the domestic game,NEVER EVER RIGHT­ BURNLEY OFF its a mistake.Up The Clarets Long Live­ Turfmoor

  3. Comment 39 Good point mate Up The Clarets Long Live­ Turfmoor

    From paul c, on Wed 25 Nov 8:36AM

  4. To matteos.maserati (comment 2)..So Burnley will be­ lucky to sneak a single goal hey!!!
    You muppet,we­ absolutely played you lot off the park in the 1st half­ and should really have been 2 or 3 up before Villa­ ragged their equalizer late on.
    We Clarets love it when­ all you fans from the established premier league clubs­ get it into your heads that your team will spank our­ "little club that came up through the­ play-offs,and will go straight back down."
    Believe­ me this Claret team can and does play some fantastic­ football at home on the Turf.
    Take us for granted at­ your PERIL!!!

    From David S, on Sun 22 Nov 2:39AM

  5. To comment 33 (Slade).
    Well said SLADE....I was­ thinking exactly the same thing.
    Come on Lerner...put­ your fekking hand in your pocket.

    From Troika, on Sun 22 Nov 1:11AM

  6. The two claret and blue teams who will still be playing­ in this league next season...unlike the mighty­ 'ammers!

    From voiceofreason, on Sun 22 Nov 1:09AM

  7. Pity the Clarets could not have held on but i would­ have settled for a point at 3pm. I thought Villa would­ have been our hardest home game to date they are a good­ side with a great manager. Burnley are getting­ stronger every week and despite their poor away form­ look good enough to survive the Premiership.
