Crystal Palace 2 Burnley 0
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: Selhurst Park, London
Date: Saturday, December 1, 2018
Crystal Palace ended their eight-match winless streak with a dominant 2-0 victory at Selhurst Park on Saturday as Burnley's torrid campaign took another turn for the worse.
James McArthur scored Palace's first goal from open play at home this season before Andros Townsend secured the win with a fine goal 12 minutes from time.
Sean Dyche's side, now with just a single point from their last six outings, may have finished seventh last season, but the Clarets are a team devoid of confidence and, on the evidence of their display here, relegation would appear a distinct possibility.
