BURNLEY, England — Burnley has become the first team in Premier League history to lose its opening six home games of the season after a 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace at Turf Moor. Jeffrey Schlupp put Palace ahead in the 22nd minute and Tyrick Mitchell's second Palace goal sealed it in second-half stoppage time as Burnley suffered a club-record eighth consecutive top-flight home defeat. That run dates back to the final two fixtures of the 2021-22 campaign in which the team was relegated. Burnley actually dominated possession and had 16 shots to Palace's four. Palace recovered from back-to-back defeats to move into the top half of the table.
