Lowton stunner seals Burnley win at Palace

A brilliant goal from Matthew Lowton capped a comfortable 3-0 win for Burnley at Crystal Palace.

Burnley surprised Palace with two goals in the opening 10 minutes at Selhurst Park.

Johann Berg Gudmundsson scored his second in as many matches, curling in on five minutes after a cross was not cleared.

The Clarets doubled their lead five minutes later when Dwight McNeil’s corner was headed in by Jay Rodriguez.

Palace's best chances came when Christian Benteke’s low shot was saved by Nick Pope and Jordan Ayew’s 34th-minute effort was blocked.

Burnley sealed their win two minutes into the second half, when Lowton linked up with Rodriguez before superbly volleying in his first league goal since April 2013.

Sean Dyche’s side lie 16th on 26 points, 11 clear of the bottom three.

Palace are two places and three points above them, having played a match more.
