Burnley 0 Swansea City 1: Fer snatches late winner

Burnley began life back in the Premier League with a 1-0 defeat against Swansea City, with wasteful finishing costing the hosts dear.

Leroy Fer fired home an 82nd-minute winner as Swansea City opened the new Premier League campaign with a 1-0 victory at newly promoted Burnley

Fer pounced from close range after Tom Heaton palmed away a Fernando Llorente header to ensure the Clarets were left to rue a series of missed chances at Turf Moor.

Sean Dyche put his trust in the players that won the Championship last term, with sole outfield signing Johann Berg Gudmundsson starting on the bench, but Andre Gray – the top scorer in the second tier in 2015-16 - was not his clinical self.
