EPL: Burnley 1-0 Crystal Palace

Chris Wood scored for Burnley

Crystal Palace became the first side in Premier League history to lose their first four games without scoring after a 1-0 defeat at Burnley.

Chris Wood's early goal, which came courtesy of a horrendous error by Lee Chung-yong, turns up the pressure on new Palace boss Frank de Boer, who has overseen the club's worst start to a season since 1925.

There were positives for the visitors, who had 23 shots on goal - including two efforts cleared off the line and a quite remarkable late miss from Scott Dann - but things are set to get tougher, with fixtures against Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea looming.

De Boer called for cool heads in the early stages, but Lee let his manager down inside the first three minutes. Under no pressure the South Korean international played a woefully short back-pass straight into the path of Wood, who anticipated and then punished the mistake with a first-time finish past the on-rushing Wayne Hennessey.

Palace responded well, but a Christian Benteke header from 12 yards sailed the wrong side of the post before Dann had an effort cleared off the line by Matthew Lowton.

Burnley lost their goalkeeper Tom Heaton midway through the first-half with a suspected dislocated shoulder and his replacement Nick Pope, who was making his Premier League debut, was kept busy in the second period.

The visitors set up camp in the Burnley half but their final finish was lacking as James Tarkowski and Ben Mee were in resilient mood to keep out Benteke.

The Belgian striker squirmed through the back-line on 79 minutes but it was Pope to the rescue with a brave block down to his right.

Palace continued to press and Dann was denied for the second time by a goal-line clearance, this time from Stephen Ward when Pope was beaten.

That looked to be the last chance, but Dann managed to save the worst miss until last, heading wide from no more than three yards out.
