Jay Rodriguez hails Burnley's 'massive' victory in relegation six-pointer against Everton after Maxwel Cornet’s dramatic late winner sealed vital three points for Sean Dyche's side

Jay Rodriguez hailed Burnley’s ‘massive’ victory on Wednesday night as Everton were plunged further into relegation trouble.

The Clarets came back from 2-1 down at half-time to beat Frank Lampard’s Everton and give their survival hopes a major boost.

Nathan Collins scored early for the hosts, but two Richarlison penalties — the second of which was heavily disputed by Burnley boss Sean Dyche — saw Everton take control.
