MAN OF THE MATCH?

Wood header earns Burnley comeback win

Chris Wood's 79th-minute header secured back-to-back victories for Burnley as they came from behind to win 3-2 against Aston Villa.

Ollie Watkins finished Matt Targett's left-wing cross with the outside of his foot to put Villa in front on 14 minutes.

Burnley equalised in the 52nd minute when Ben Mee headed in powerfully from Ashley Westwood's inswinging corner.

Jack Grealish was denied a wonderful solo goal by Nick Pope, but the Villa captain did score in the 68th minute, sliding in a low volley from Douglas Luiz's centre. 

The hosts hit back eight minutes later, with Dwight McNeil's cross inadvertently finding the bottom corner.

And Wood glanced in McNeil's cross at the back post with 11 minutes remaining to complete a remarkable turnaround.

Burnley sit 15th with 22 points, while Villa drop to 10th on 29 points.
