Burnley 0-0 Everton: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Coral’s post-match review of Burnley 0-0 Everton in the Premier League on Saturday, 27 December 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Burnley and Everton played out a goalless draw, finishing 0-0 at Turf Moor. The first half saw Burnley edge possession and create a few half-chances, but neither side could find a breakthrough as defences held firm. Coming off a run of draws and losses in their recent league games, Burnley looked to build some momentum at home, while Everton, with mixed results including a couple of wins, aimed to steady their form away from Goodison Park.

The second half picked up with substitutions around the hour mark, as Burnley brought on Florentino for Josh Cullen at 53 minutes, hoping to inject some energy. Everton responded later with Merlin Röhl replacing Carlos Alcaraz at 69 minutes and Thierno Barry coming on for Beto a minute later, but the game remained tight with a couple of yellow cards for Everton adding to the tension. Overall, it was a gritty affair that reflected both teams’ recent struggles to convert chances into goals, leaving fans with a point each but little to cheer about.

Burnley controlled more of the ball with 55% possession compared to Everton’s 45%, which showed they were trying to dictate the pace, though it didn’t lead to goals. They also had the edge in corners at 7 to 5 and successful dribbles with 32 against 26, suggesting they were more adventurous going forward, but Everton’s defence stayed solid to keep things level. On the discipline side, Everton picked up two yellow cards while Burnley had none, and both teams made changes with Burnley using four subs – like Florentino coming on for Josh Cullen at 53 minutes, Jaidon Anthony replacing Jacob Bruun Larsen at 73, and late switches of Zian Flemming for Armando Broja plus Mike Tresor for Marcus Edwards at 88 – while Everton used three, including Merlin Röhl for Carlos Alcaraz at 69, Thierno Barry for Beto at 70, and Nathan Patterson for Tyler Dibling at 88.

The numbers paint a picture of a balanced but cautious game, with no penalties, assists or injury-time drama to swing it either way.

The match stayed cagey throughout, with no goals to shift the momentum, but substitutions tried to spark life into it – Burnley swapped Josh Cullen for Florentino at 53 minutes, then Jaidon Anthony came on for Jacob Bruun Larsen at 73, followed by double changes at 88 with Zian Flemming replacing Armando Broja and Mike Tresor for Marcus Edwards. Everton made their moves around the 70-minute mark, bringing Merlin Röhl on for Carlos Alcaraz at 69 and Thierno Barry for Beto at 70, before Nathan Patterson replaced Tyler Dibling at 88. Discipline became a factor late on, with yellow cards shown to Scott Parker at 68 and 89 minutes, plus Tim Iroegbunam at 80 and Tyler Dibling at 85, adding some edge but not changing the goalless outcome.

Burnley lined up in a 3-4-3 shape, focusing on a solid backline while pushing forward through partnerships like Jacob Bruun Larsen on the wing before his substitution. Players such as Josh Cullen anchored the midfield until Florentino replaced him, and up front Armando Broja led the line until Zian Flemming came on late, with Marcus Edwards also making way for Mike Tresor to try and unlock Everton’s defence.

Everton set up in a 4-2-3-1 formation, relying on a compact midfield where Carlos Alcaraz featured before Merlin Röhl replaced him, and Beto started as the focal point up top until Thierno Barry took over. Tyler Dibling was involved in the attacking third until Nathan Patterson came on late, helping to maintain a disciplined shape that frustrated Burnley’s attempts to break through.

Coral’s Man of the Match was Martin Dúbravka, who earned it with a strong performance in goal, making 6 crucial saves to keep a clean sheet with 0 goals conceded. His 7 clearances and 5 punches showed he was commanding in the box, dealing with crosses and pressure effectively to help secure the point in a tight game.
