Scott Parker hails 'unbelievable' Burnley comeback win at Crystal Palace

Scott Parker praised his Burnley side as 'unbelievable' after they came from two goals down to secure a stunning 3-2 victory at Crystal Palace, ending a 16-match winless run in the Premier League.

Jorgen Strand Larsen, making his home debut for Palace as the club's record signing, scored twice inside the first 33 minutes. But Burnley struck back with three goals in seven minutes before half-time, through Hannibal Mejbri, Jaidon Anthony, and an own goal by Jefferson Lerma.

'I'm sorry, there's not many teams who could do that,' said Parker. 'Not where we are, not where we currently sit, and then coming out of the home fixture against West Ham, where we're practically getting booed off the pitch by our own fans.'

Burnley remain second from bottom in 19th place, six points behind West Ham. Martin Dubravka's stoppage-time save denied Ismaila Sarr an equaliser for Palace, who had ended their own 12-game winless run against Brighton days earlier.

'I didn't recognise my team in these 10 minutes,' said Palace boss Oliver Glasner. 'When you defend so sloppy, like we did in these eight, nine minutes, you deserve to lose.'
