Despite enjoying 75% possession and having a higher expected goals, Burnley couldn’t convert their chances into goals.

The defeat marks Burnley’s 11th home loss of the season, a record for the club in a single Premier League campaign, raising concerns for their upcoming match against West Ham and the rest of the season.

Bournemouth, on the other hand, will be pleased with their good performance and will look to build on the victory as they prepare to host bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United in their next match.
