Burnley 1 Everton 5
A crushing sixth home defeat of the season left Christmas cheer thin on the ground at Turf Moor as the Clarets reached the half-way point of the Premier League campaign stuck in the bottom three.
Everton struck five times to equal Burnley’s heaviest home defeat of 2018 as the Merseysiders bounced back from a 6-2 beating by Tottenham to end their five-game winless run.
The Clarets had lost by just a late goal to title-chasing Spurs and given Arsenal a run for their money in the run-up to Christmas.
But after taking one step forward, this felt like two back in the first of a crucial run of games.
West Ham and Fulham are due at Turf Moor either side of a New Year trip to Huddersfield Town.
