Burnley 0-1 Crystal Palace: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Coral’s post-match review of Burnley 0-1 Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Wednesday, 03 December 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Crystal Palace edged out Burnley with a 1-0 victory at Turf Moor. The first half saw Burnley controlling more of the ball, but they couldn’t turn that into clear chances, while Palace looked threatening on the counter. Just before the break, Daniel Muñoz broke the deadlock in the 44th minute with a well-taken goal assisted by Marc Guéhi, giving the visitors a lead that reflected their efficiency despite Burnley’s possession edge. Coming into this on the back of five straight league losses, Burnley were desperate for points but struggled to break down a solid Palace defence.

The second half kicked off with Burnley making an early change as Jacob Bruun Larsen replaced Loum Tchaouna at 46 minutes, followed by more substitutions like Marcus Edwards for Jaidon Anthony at 58 minutes and Hannibal for Zian Flemming at 59 minutes, as they chased an equaliser. Palace managed the game well, bringing on Eddie Nketiah for Jean-Philippe Mateta and Justin Devenny for Yéremy Pino at 64 minutes to freshen things up, and they held firm without conceding. Burnley’s recent poor run continued, while Palace built on their mixed form that included a couple of wins and a draw in their last few outings, securing three valuable points here.

Burnley bossed possession with 58% of the ball compared to Palace’s 42%, and they were far more adventurous in attack, racking up 43 successful dribbles against Palace’s 20, which shows they tried to take the game to the visitors. However, both sides were even on corners at three each, and there were no cards shown or penalties taken, keeping things fairly clean without any dramatic stoppages or injury-time twists. Palace made the most of their chances with one assist leading to the only goal, while Burnley couldn’t find any cutting edge despite their dominance in those areas.

On the substitution front, Burnley used all five available, starting with Jacob Bruun Larsen coming on for Loum Tchaouna at 46 minutes, then Marcus Edwards replacing Jaidon Anthony at 58 minutes, Hannibal for Zian Flemming at 59 minutes, Lesley Ugochukwu for Florentino at 71 minutes, and finally Armando Broja for Josh Cullen at 81 minutes. Palace opted for four changes, with Eddie Nketiah replacing Jean-Philippe Mateta and Justin Devenny coming on for Yéremy Pino both at 64 minutes, followed by Will Hughes for Adam Wharton at 76 minutes and Jaydee Canvot for Daichi Kamada at 88 minutes, helping them see out the win.

The game’s defining moment came right at the end of the first half when Daniel Muñoz scored for Crystal Palace in the 44th minute, assisted by Marc Guéhi, which proved to be the only goal and shifted the momentum heading into the break. Burnley responded with a halftime switch as Jacob Bruun Larsen came on for Loum Tchaouna at 46 minutes, aiming to inject some energy, but they couldn’t capitalise.

Further changes saw Marcus Edwards replace Jaidon Anthony at 58 minutes and Hannibal come on for Zian Flemming a minute later, while Lesley Ugochukwu took over from Florentino at 71 minutes and Armando Broja replaced Josh Cullen at 81 minutes for Burnley. Palace made tactical tweaks too, with Eddie Nketiah replacing Jean-Philippe Mateta and Justin Devenny coming on for Yéremy Pino at 64 minutes, Will Hughes for Adam Wharton at 76 minutes, and Jaydee Canvot for Daichi Kamada late on at 88 minutes, all helping to secure their narrow lead without any red cards or penalties complicating things.

Burnley lined up in a 4-4-2 shape, focusing on width and trying to build through midfield partnerships, though they struggled to break through despite players like Josh Cullen holding things together before his exit. Substitutes such as Jacob Bruun Larsen, Marcus Edwards, Hannibal, Lesley Ugochukwu and Armando Broja were brought on to add spark, with the likes of Loum Tchaouna, Jaidon Anthony, Zian Flemming and Florentino making way at various points.

Crystal Palace set up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, relying on a solid back three and wing-backs to counter, with Daniel Muñoz proving key in attack by netting the winner. Marc Guéhi provided the assist for that goal, while substitutions saw Eddie Nketiah, Justin Devenny, Will Hughes and Jaydee Canvot come on to replace Jean-Philippe Mateta, Yéremy Pino, Adam Wharton and Daichi Kamada respectively, helping maintain their defensive organisation.

Daniel Muñoz earned Coral’s Man of the Match award for his standout performance, bagging the only goal of the game while creating one big chance and delivering one key pass. His timely strike just before halftime was crucial in securing the win for Palace, showing his ability to make a difference in tight matches.

Burnley have just suffered a 0-1 defeat at home to Crystal Palace, extending their dismal run of five straight league losses that has left them in 19th place on 10 points and deep in relegation trouble. They’ll be desperate to turn things around in their next fixture against Newcastle United on 2025-12-06 at 15:00, with the opposition sitting 12th on 19 points and looking to climb the table themselves – a win here could be vital for Burnley to start pulling away from the drop zone.

Crystal Palace have just claimed a hard-fought 1-0 win away at Burnley, bouncing back from a recent loss to Manchester United and adding to their solid form of three wins and a draw in their last five league games, which has them in 5th place on 23 points and chasing European spots. Their next challenge is against Fulham on 2025-12-07 at 16:30, with the opponents in 15th on 17 points and scrapping for mid-table security – three points could help Palace solidify their strong position at the top end of the table.
