Burnley produced a remarkable comeback from 2-0 down to beat Crystal Palace 3-2 at Selhurst Park, scoring three times in seven minutes before half-time. The victory ended Burnley's 17-match winless run in the top flight and kept their slim survival hopes alive.
Jørgen Strand Larsen had put Palace 2-0 up with his first goals for the club, but Hannibal Mejbri pulled one back before Jaidon Anthony equalised and Jefferson Lerma turned into his own net to give Burnley the lead at the break. Palace failed to recover in the second half despite introducing new signing Brennan Johnson.
Burnley manager Scott Parker said: 'It means a lot – we’ve been through some real soul searching and tonight was everything that I have preached to this group. That game will live with me for a long time.' Palace boss Oliver Glasner added: 'I didn’t recognise my team. We had no one on the pitch to calm everyone down when things started going wrong.'
Palace had chances to equalise in the second half but were denied by Martin Dubravka's save from Ismaila Sarr in injury time. The defeat leaves Palace still concerned about relegation, having now gone eight league matches without a win at home.
