Burnley Sets Unwanted Record: Loses Opening Six Home Games after 2-0 Defeat to Crystal Palace
Unwanted History for Burnley as Kompany's Clarets Struggle in Premier League, Crystal Palace Ends Four-Game Winless Run with Victory at Turf Moor
- Burnley sets an unwanted record by becoming the first team in Premier League history to lose its opening six home games of the season, following a 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace.
- Burnley's losses have been attributed to individual errors, including a key mistake by defender Jordan Beyer which led to Palace's first goal.
- Goals from Jeffrey Schlupp and Tyrick Mitchell secured the victory for Crystal Palace, ending their four-game winless run and moving them provisionally into 10th in the table.
- The defeat leaves Burnley, managed by Vincent Kompany, firmly in the drop zone with four points. The team has yet to win at Turf Moor this campaign.
- Despite losing, Burnley dominated possession and had 16 shots to Palace’s four, leading Crystal Palace's manager Roy Hodgson to express surprize that a team capable of applying such pressure is struggling to secure points.
