Ben Mee celebrate goal

Ben Mee's first Premier League goal since January 2017 moved Burnley up to eighth in the Premier League as they won 1-0 at Crystal Palace.

 

 

Crystal Palace lost to Liverpool by 4-1 and a win could have boosted their chances of qualifying for Europe next season.

The Clarets had the better of the first-half chances, with a clearance from Palace center-back Gary Cahill nearly cannoning in off team-mate Patrick van Aanholt before Dwight McNeil twice went close.
