Scott Parker on Hjalmar Ekdals' absence, his decision to hand Axel Tuanzebe a first league start and Jaidon Anthony's early withdrawal. And with that, I'm on annual leave. Back for Leeds 👋 #twitterclarets burnleyexpress.net/sport/football…

Clarets forced a nervy finish, but it was too little, too late.

Didn’t create enough and too open defensively.

#twitterclarets

90+9 - Former Claret Ian Maatsen replaces Emi Buendia as he trudges off. Joe Worrall, meanwhile, replaces Maxime Esteve. Game back underway. (2-1) #twitterclarets


90+5 - Lengthy stoppage here as Emi Buendia receives treatment on the pitch. There's still another 2 or 3 minutes to go. (2-1) #twitterclarets


90 - Five minutes added on for Burnley to find an equaliser. (2-1) #twitterclarets


89 - Martin Dubravka at full stretch to turn Lucas Digne's effort behind. (2-1) #twitterclarets


82 - Zian Flemming on for Josh Laurent. (2-1) #twitterclarets


69 - Lesley Ugochukwu replaces Lyle Foster. Damage limitation? Or an attempt to get hold of that wide open midfield? (2-0) #twitterclarets


67 - Villa almost add a third and once again, Burnley are wide open in the middle of the park. Matty Cash's effort skips off Maxime Esteve and looks to be heading towards the bottom corner, but Martin Dubravka gets a strong hand to it. (2-0) #twitterclarets


59 - Double change: ON: JBL and Broja OFF: Tchaouna and Anthony (1-0) #twitterclarets


54 - One pass completely opens up Burnley and Villa almost double their lead, but Martin Dubravka does well to thwart Morgan Rogers. JBL and Broja now getting readied. (1-0) #twitterclarets


53 - That's a naughty one from Lucas Digne on Loum Tchaouna. Booking. (1-0) #twitterclarets


48 - Lyle Foster does well to get in down the left, but Loum Tchaouna is the only Burnley player to pick out in the box. Foster's eventual cross ricochets back off him and behind for a goal kick. (1-0) #twitterclarets


Villa get us back underway. No changes at half-time, despite Scott Parker's conversation with JBL. (1-0) #twitterclarets
