Late goal from Barnes secures 3 points for Burnley

A late goal from substitute Ashley Barnes sent Burnley into fourth place in the Premier League table as they beat Stoke City 1-0.

The game looked to be heading towards a stalemate with neither side producing many chances of quality at a wet and windy Turf Moor, but Barnes clinched the victory for the Clarets with his strike in the 89th minute.

The three points lifts Sean Dyche’s side into the final Champions League spot for at least 24 hours ahead of Liverpool, Arsenal and Tottenham, who all play on Wednesday evening.

Stoke, meanwhile, remain in 15th with 16 points and have now lost four of their last five Premier League matches.
