Burnley 0-2 Bournemouth: Justin Kluivert and Antoine Semenyo seal Cherries' first win of 2024

Burnley missed a big chance to boost their slim Premier League survival hopes as their wasteful attack allowed Bournemouth to secure a 2-0 win and the Cherries' first victory of 2024.

Vincent Kompany's Clarets dominated possession and chances at Turf Moor but some clumsy defending allowed Justin Kluivert to open the scoring on 13 minutes with a clinical finish.

The Clarets had over 75 per cent possession and 20 shots on the Bournemouth goal - but Cherries goalkeeper Neto denied Jacob Bruun Larsen by clawing out his free-kick from underneath the bar, while Vitinho also headed over a good first-half chance.

Burnley thought they found an equaliser when Josh Cullen tapped home from close range but Bruun Larsen was penalised for a push on Bournemouth's Adam Smith in the build-up. But Antoine Semenyo sealed the result with a stunning run and finish late on.

The result means Burnley have lost 11 out of their 14 home games this season and remain 11 points away from safety with just 11 games remaining.

While the Clarets moved a step further towards Championship football next season, Bournemouth can sit on an 11-point gap above the bottom three - all but sealing their survival.
