Chapter 1: What led to Burnley's comeback victory against Everton?
Floated in by Goodman, turned and buried by Chris Wood. A long spell out of the side. His first appearance in ten games and he pops up with a big, big goal for Burnley. Burnley 2, Everton 1.
Well, the Premier League weekend's got off to a good start for Burnley. This is what's still to come on Sky Sports. Potentially a tricky trip for Arsenal to Brighton, 12.30 on Sky Sports Premier League as part of your Super Sunday. And then it's the champions elect against the champions, 3.30 on Sky Sports Premier League.
Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville in the studio for Crystal Palace against Manchester United as the Monday night football from seven on Sky Sports Premier League. Big night of boxing coming up tonight. Kell Brook and Sergei Rabchenko from 7.30 on Sky Sports Action. And then in the early hours of Sunday morning, it's Deontay Wilder against Luis Ortiz from 2am.
Lenny James writes the stars in the Sky original production Save Me, which is on Sky Atlantic. All episodes available now, also in Ultra HD. Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood saved Sean Dyche's Burnley today. They're both talking to Greg Whelan.
Ashley, Chris, many congratulations. Ashley, great comeback, great result. What do you put that down to today?
Thank you, yeah. I think it was hard work. It's been coming for a while now. We've not won in ten, and obviously today it was just good to get that victory.
Chris, coming up with a winner is not a bad way to mark your return, is it?
No, it's nice to come back like that, but it's more important that we've got another win under our belt. As Barnsley said, it's been coming. Definitely our performance merited more, but it just hasn't gone our way over the last couple of weeks.
Ashley, your goal came from yet another ball sort of played into the channel behind the defender there. Was that very much part of the game plan in this game?

Chapter 2: How did Burnley break their winless streak?
We're playing football. Why don't you want to be proactive with what you're doing? And so if you had smashed the ball in the stand there, you don't score a goal. And yes, he could have lost the ball. You would have found yourself in a situation, if you lose the ball, where... You have all of that. They can go to goal, one-on-one with the keeper, but he's thinking about scoring.
And obviously we're going to let him run because he kept his composure, because he passed the ball forward, because Lawton does what he does. Great run. It's a goal. If he put the ball in Rosette, still 1-0 for Everton, throwing for Everton.
Brilliant pass. Absolutely fantastic. It takes everyone at the equation. Look, there's two ways to look at it, Kelly, and I think we'll look at it from a defensive point of view now.
Chapter 3: What tactical changes did Sean Dyche implement at halftime?
This is Pickford. There. Jordan Pickford's in a position where I would say he's in a good position there, do you agree? Very good. But what he tries to do, or what he actually does, is go backwards. Instead of being proactive and stay on the front foot, you can see as he gets that ball, he decides to go backwards now.
And that's leaving space, because where he actually kicks this ball is on the six-yard box. And if he'd have stayed where he was, there's no doubt at all, Jordan Pickford wins that one. And he would have certainly got it away. Now, I'm talking about the top-level goalkeepers in world football now. I would say Edison is one of them. Now, we've got an example here of Edison from the game midweek.
We didn't have to look too far. But look at his position here and what he does. This is him. Just highlight him. Because instead of going backwards, he comes forwards. And then he can see what's going to happen. He makes a good decision, heads that one away. Because otherwise Aubameyang's probably going to score.
And I think that's something that if Jordan Pickford would have been proactive and stayed maybe on his 18-yard box, he'd have cleared that and it wouldn't have been a problem. I thought it was a poor decision from him.
What did you make of Jordan Pickford's positioning for the second goal as well?
Thierry? Well, we don't want to make it a Jordan Pickford thing at the end of the day. But what you're thinking is you will have... Let me pick up the right word. in a position that where, you know, he's not really annoying anyone. He's just standing there. I think he's going to take one step that way towards the keeper.
But I used to say to Jens Lehmann, and Jens Lehmann used to get involved every single time with everybody, don't go to him.

Chapter 4: How did Everton's early lead affect the match dynamics?
And that's exactly what Pickford is going to do. He's going to go to Ward. Ward will not actually do anything. I'm talking about that because he's going to complain about being fouled. You're not getting fouled. You are going to Ward. Why are you going to him? You're going to see it soon. He's coming now. He's starting to battle with him. He starts the battle. Ward is still not doing anything.
Why are you looking for a battle? Concentrate on what you should do and get the ball. I'm going to go back before Obviously, Wood scores that goal. I'm going to leave it to you because I know you want to talk about what happened just now.
Well, I think there, you've got Ashley Williams there pointing. You can see there's a little bit of dialogue between the keeper and Ashley Williams. And I think, if you can see Everton, by the time the ball comes into the box, if you count Theo Walcott there, who's just about to go into the box, Everton have got 11 men in their own box.
Now, if Ashley Williams just makes a decision to just go Mark Wood, there he is there. You can see him pointing. I don't think they score. But instead, he decides to keep his position. Wood's clever because he comes out of that position and comes in behind him. But as then the ball comes in, mark him. Look, he's not on his toes. He sees him now.
Drop back, get into a position where you can mark him. Too late. Goal. And I think that summed up pretty much Everton's defending at times there. He's too late and he doesn't do well enough defensively. You can see he's going the wrong way. A good header, he attacks it. But you know the player. You know what he's like. We've seen enough of him in the Premier League now.
He's raw, he's good in the air and someone's got to stop him. But I think that between Pickford and Williams, they should have sorted that problem out.
Well, those two goals mean that Burnley come from behind under Sean Dyche for the first time in the Premier League. But for Everton, they've conceded more than 30 away goals this season for the first time since 2004-2005. It all started well, but turned sour for Sam Allardyce. Everton opened the scoring against Burnley but ended the match 2-1 down and down to 10 men.
Seamus Coleman made his 250th appearance. He's with Greg Whelan.
Seamus, commiserations all in all. How tough was that to take this day?

Chapter 5: What key moments defined Burnley's performance in the second half?
How do you look to do that? Because it is a disappointing run you're on at the moment, isn't it?
Yeah, it is. We just need to show some desire, first and foremost, and show that we want it. And we do have some quality players there that should shine through that. But first and foremost, you need to work harder than the opposition. And unfortunately, today, I don't think we did that.
Is confidence an issue at the moment, do you feel?
Well, it shouldn't be. When Burnley have won in 12, it should be them that should have been feeling the pressure. So, Rocco will use that as an excuse. We just need to do better. There's no other way of looking at it. We need to perform better. Seamus, appreciate your time. Thank you.
Seamus Coleman saying that Everton need to perform better. Is that a fair assessment, Thierry?
I think... Is it fair on what they did? Yes, because they need to do better. But I think what it is, is they went to Burnley to win the game. That's why they were disappointed. I think they played a good first half. They didn't back it up in the second half. Now I think they should be happy that it was only 2-1 at the end of the game. Burnley deserved to win, and well.
But you expect a tiny bit more from Everton, especially in the situation that they are and that they were. Burnley didn't win from being back in the game 1-0 down. And so when you analyse the game, it's only normal, that result. But you kind of... We said that they're both OK, those teams. Be careful, Everton.
Be careful, Everton. Well, Seamus Coleman was disappointed with the performance and with the result. Let's hear what Sam Allardyce made of it. He's with Greg Whelan.
Sam, commiserations. Where do you feel it got away from you today?

Chapter 6: How did player performances impact the outcome of the game?
Because when the ball came to us, we didn't deal with the right pass at the right time, we didn't make the right clearance in the right area, we allowed Burnley to build that pressure upon us. But like I said, we coped in the end, got back in the game, by then-Gilfey getting this chance that was a brilliant piece of skill to get in that fine, but normally he would have scored.
A couple of moments we had, but so did Burnley. So he's very disappointed from our point of view.
You finished the game with 10 men. Any complaints about the red card?
No, no complaints. You can't put your arms... It's not vicious, it's not that, but it's up around the head and he swung his armour and... you know, it's unprofessional.
You mentioned Sigurdsson, some Everton fans voiced their frustration towards the end when you substituted him, you brought Balassi on, just tell us, tell them what your thinking was there, how were you trying to change things?
Well, we went two up top, so we put Dominic up the top end to go along Omar, and I'm You know, you put Omar on, who's been playing recently. Cenk scored a goal but was tired. It's only his second game, so he was running out of legs because this level he's not really used to. But he's done a fantastic job, particularly by scoring the goal. And like I said, I think in the end...
The service in the end, the second half particularly, wasn't good enough to any of them in the end, so it's like our last four crosses or three crosses went straight in the keeper's hands when we were trying to put the opposition under pressure to get back in the game. So technically, we should have been better, particularly in the final third again, particularly after the chances we created.
I said to the players, this is the most chances we've created away from home since I've been here and you have failed to score any of those extra chances from the first one and that started us on the back foot in the second half.
It is a tough run you're on now, how do you rest it?

Chapter 7: What are the implications of this match for Everton's season?
More than three points. More than this one game. It's born within. This is true rivalry. Rivalry Weekend starts with Hemsby Hearts. Live on Sky Sports.
Well, rivalry weekend to come next weekend. This weekend in the Premier League got underway with a win for Burnley, 2-1 against Everton. Jamie, Everton started so well by going in front through Cenk Tosun.
It did, and I was actually surprised when he took him off, Sam, because I always felt he might nick another goal. He looked quite dangerous, and he took this one well. Sigurdsson's obviously instrumental. It's not the best free kick he's ever taken, but he decides to... It's a good decision, goes and wins it there.
They keep the two centre-backs forward, which I think then gives the Burnley defence a problem, and that little bit of space for Towson. It's a good flip by Seamus Coleman, and he attacks that ball really well, and it's a good header. Not a lot you can do from a defensive point of view, but...
You could just see there, they leave men forward, Thierry, and I think that gives Burnley that problem in defence.
As you would, because you got the ball back from Sigurdsson, from you being in a free-kick situation, but you have to give also Phil Wilcote, you know, for him to go there and pick Coleman, and him also not to try to score from there, just to keep the ball alive and see what's happening behind, and 1-0.
Thierry, why couldn't they kick on from there?
because they missed after that, and I understand what Samuel Adams is saying there. If you put it down to only chances, Burnley had more than you, so they would have a case also talking about chances. The problem is you missed your good chances, at 1-0. So you missed the chance to go 2-0 away from home. And like I always said, when you have a chance away from home, you have to bury it.
They buried the first one. So the first half was a bit easier. They didn't make it to 2-0. Burnley came back for the first time in their history in the Premier League under Shandaesh. So, yes, I understand the frustration there, but overall, it wasn't enough.

Chapter 8: What does this victory mean for Burnley moving forward?
And suddenly you're not OK. But I still believe that they are going to be OK. I just put it out there at the beginning of the game. Be careful, Everton. I'm still saying it now. But they're playing Brighton soon. So if they win that one, they can ease that pressure. You saw the fans were upset at the end.
You know, things are not going the right way there at the minute because they're on the bad run. So, yeah, just be careful. They should be fine.
Yeah, I agree with you. They should be fine. But I think it's almost a case of looking forward to next season. This is a team in Everton which has spent a lot of money in the summer. The recruitment's not been right. The basis of how they play is I don't really get a... a good feeling. That's not just under Sam Allardyce, that's also under Ronald Koeman at the start of the year.
I don't think they've got the right players in that squad. They've not replaced Romelu Lukaku, not an easy job. Lots of number 10s. And they've got some fixtures now that I think are certainly winnable, but you don't want to get in a situation where, especially this weekend, this is going to... is going to really change.
A lot of teams are playing each other, Brighton next week, but there's not a good feeling about Everton at the moment. You know, playing at Goodison, when I used to play against Everton, I'm sure you were the same too, when you go there and the crowd are up and the players are on their toes, it's such a hard place to go.
But when you're going in the flip side, when the confidence is low and the crowd are starting to turn on the team, it's a good place to go because they can get on the back of the players. You look at some of those games, Yes, certainly winnable, but you don't want to be going into that game towards Swansea away, Newcastle, looking for three points, because it can be very difficult.
That Man City-Liverpool game, you know, hard.
And that's the problem, isn't it, Thierry, is that you don't have many teams in the Premier League this season who've got nothing to play for.
Sometimes it's kind of a weird situation. We mentioned it before. Can you make Europa League difficult? Are you going to go down? We don't think so. But then you're like, do you sense the urgency of you being in a bad run? I would like to think so because as a player, you always want to compete and do well. But now you need to switch it on again. Can you?
