Olympiacos 3 Burnley 1: Clarets clinging to European dream

Burnley's Europa League dream was left hanging by a thread on Thursday after a 3-1 reverse against Olympiacos in Piraeus.

Konstantinos Fortounis scored two and created the other as Olympiacos left Burnley's European dreams hanging by a thread with a 3-1 Europa League win on Thursday.

Burnley – who played the last 30 minutes with 10 men after Ben Gibson's red card – still retain a glimmer of hope thanks to Chris Wood's penalty, but they will need to turn on the style at Turf Moor in seven days' time if they are to progress to the group stage.
