Six-goal thriller sees points shared at Turf Moor against the Eagles Maxwel Cornet served up another slice of genius to grab Burnley a point and cap a 3-3 Turf Moor thriller against Crystal Palace.

The Ivorian ace rifled home a second-half thunderbolt to level after Ben Mee and Chris Wood had netted for the Clarets in a frantic opening period. Christian Benteke had given Palace the lead before captain Mee rose highest in the box to crash home from a corner. Wood temporarily turned the tables but after Benteke struck again to equalise, defender Marc Guehi hauled the Eagles into a half-time lead. Cornet's rocket sent the crowd into raptures at the start of the second half and despite Matej Vydra coming close to a winner, the Clarets had to settle for a point in a titanic Turf Moor encounter. Burnley came into the contest off the back of a hard-fought point at Chelsea and unsurprisingly, boss Sean Dyche deployed an unchanged team after that dogged display in the capital.
