Burnley have fun after Ben Mee tackle on Bernardo Silva goes viral

Burnley battled their way to an impressive 1-1 draw against Man City at the weekend, with defender Ben Mee taking a very literal approach to stopping the runaway Premier League leaders in the tracks.
Inspired by the image of Mee manhandling Bernando Silva like an unruly child, the Clarets’ social media team began pumping out a series of excellent photoshopped images.
First came a loving homage to a Steven Spielberg classic.

Matthew Lowton, Ben Mee provide defensive stability for Burnley vs. Boro

Middlesbrough failed to ease their relegation worries after a goalless draw with Burnley.

Middlesbrough failed to ease their relegation worries after a goalless draw with Burnley.

Sean Dyche has no qualms with Burnley’s slow start against Middlesbrough, and says a point away from home is always crucial.
This match always looked likely to end goalless, with Middlesbrough struggling to score of late and Sean Dyche’s Burnley determined to scrap their way to Premier League survival.
Robbie Brady went close with a couple of free kicks and Tom Heaton was called into action to protect his clean sheet, while Matthew Lowton twice made vital clearances to ensure the points were shared.
The draw means Middlesbrough are looking increasingly doomed, while Burnley — promoted above Saturday’s opponents as champions…

Burnley defenders impress in win over Stoke to ease relegation fears

Sean Dyche has no complaints with Burnley’s win against Stoke, but wants more results like this on the road.

Chances proved to be elusive between Burnley and Stoke, with George Boyd’s lone goal proving to be the difference maker.
Burnley recorded a massive three points to move up to 12th in the Premier League, ending an eight-game run without a win in all competitions by beating Stoke City 1-0.
George Boyd scored the only goal of a very tight game at Turf Moor as the Clarets picked up their 10th home win of the season to increase the gap to the relegation zone to a surely unassailable eight points.
Positives
In some ways, this was arguably the biggest match of the season for Burnley, who had seen their 10-point cushion cut…

Barnes, Burnley start bright but road woes continue at Liverpool

Liverpool sealed three important points in their hunt for a top four finish as they downed Burnley 2-1 at Anfield.

Liverpool sealed three important points in their hunt for a top four finish as they downed Burnley 2-1 at Anfield.

English Premier League: Matthew Lowton (90’+3) Liverpool 2-1 Burnley
It was the same old story again for Burnley away from home in the Premier League as they lost 2-1 at Liverpool despite a brave defensive performance at Anfield on Sunday.

The Clarets led early through Ashley Barnes but although they had periods on the front foot they then withdrew and defended too deep, conceding somewhat inevitably in first-half injury time yet again.

Emre Can’s second-half strike deserved to win a game of very few chances for either side and Burnley’s long wait for a first…

Gray stars but Burnley falter late as their road woes continue at Swansea

Fernando Llorente’s dramatic stoppage-time winner earns Swansea three important points.

Fernando Llorente’s dramatic stoppage-time winner earns Swansea three important points.

English Premier League: Fernando Llorente (90’+2) Swansea City 3-2 Burnley
Swansea City edged a five-goal thriller at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday, Fernando Llorente powering home his second header of the game to secure a 3-2 win in injury-time. 

Andre Gray’s brace had looked set to give the Clarets their first away win of the season, but considering Swansea hit the woodwork three times in the first half and that referee Anthony Taylor bizarrely gave the visitors a penalty for Sam Vokes handling the ball, it is hard to argue with the fairness of the result.

Burnley rarely break a sweat in 2-0 FA Cup fourth round win vs. Bristol City

Sam Vokes, right, got the scoring going and Burnley simply cruised to victory from there.

In horrible conditions at a wet and windy Turf Moor, Burnley eased into the fifth round of the FA Cup with a comfortable 2-0 win against Championship strugglers Bristol City. Once Sam Vokes had put the Clarets ahead at the end of the first half, the result was never in doubt and a magnificent Steven Defour goal secured the victory, a 10th at home in all competitions this season.

Burnley were the beneficiaries of some hopeless defending at times but equally, they didn’t have to stretch themselves…

Burnley, Ben Mee turn in proud effort but come up short against Arsenal

Sean Dyche is upset that an offside call wasn’t made that would’ve negated Arsenal’s late penalty game-winner over Burnley.
For the second time this season, Arsenal triumphed narrowly against Burnley with the benefit of questionable decisions from the officials, a desperately late Alexis Sanchez penalty sealing a 2-1 victory for the 10-man Gunners at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal’s win followed up their similarly fortunate 1-0 success at Turf Moor, when Laurent Koscielny’s winner deep in injury time should have been disallowed for a blatant handball.

Andre Gray’s penalty looked to have earned the Clarets what would…
