Everton never cease to amaze with their ability to turn a position of control into an agonising setback. This last gasp 2-1 defeat at Burnley was a familiar story draped in a new setting. From the messy opening goal to the belated recovery and unrewarded dominance preceding the inevitable reality check, there was a painful predictability to this late loss. Ronald Koeman's team did not deserve to lose but had only themselves to blame for doing so.
That Burnley match-winner Scott Arfield should have received a red card long before his decisive strike only added insult to this morale-sapping result.
