Eagles lose it late again

January 12 2013

Wilfried Zaha

Wilfried Zaha

Crystal Palace conceded a late goal to lose 1-0 at Burnley.

Junior Stanislas curled a superb effort into the top right corner from outside the box with nine minutes left to give Burnley maximum points.

Glenn Murray fashioned the first chance of the game off target, while Burnley responded with Sam Vokes and Danny Ings blasting off target.

Burnley keeper Lee Grant had to be alert to save from Wilfried Zaha after the winger cut in from the left and fired in from the edge of the box.

Stanislas had an effort wide of the goal, but Grant then made a brilliant save after his defender Jason Shackell had diverted Jonathan Parr's cross towards his own net.

After the break, Danny Lafferty had a chance and Marney's header was easy for Speroni.

But Palace were looking more like scoring as Grant was called into action again, palming away a strike from Zaha. The visitors turned the screw as Zaha let fly from the edge of the area and top scorer Murray went close.

However, in the 81st minute Stanislas popped up to score a superb goal for Burnley to break Palace's hearts.

On-loan Manchester City striker Alex Nimely came on for his debut on 83 minutes to try and pull a goal back and Mile Jedinak hit the crossbar in stoppage time but the Clarets ended up with all three points.

Palace have conceded 10 goals in the last nine minutes this season - the joint-second highest in the division - with only Peterborough (12) letting in more.
