Dwight McNeil scored a wondergoal as Burnley inflicted Everton’s seventh home defeat of the season with Carlo Ancelotti’s men also losing goalkeeper Jordan Pickford to injury.

Burnley, who had won only one of their previous nine games, shook off their shot-shy image by taking the lead through Chris Wood before McNeil struck from 25 yards midway through the first half.
