Burnley remained in the Premier League relegation zone after Kieran Trippier's decisive own goal in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Swansea City at Turf Moor.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche kept faith with the same starting XI that gallantly held Chelsea to a 1-1 draw last week, and that meant Ashley Barnes once again leading their attack.

Barnes was in the headlines for what Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho described as "a criminal" challenge on Nemanja Matic in the Stamford Bridge stalemate.

Swansea boss Garry Monk made one change from the team that shocked Manchester United 2-1 at the Liberty Stadium last time out, with Tom Carroll coming in for the injured Gylfi Sigurdsson in midfield.

An edgy start saw Swansea 'keeper Lukasz Fabianski forced into early action to keep out George Boyd's left-footed shot.

As the half hour approached Trippier crossed from the left with Fabianski doing well to stop Barnes' close-range shot.

Down at the other end, Swansea's appeals for a penalty after Burnley keeper Tom Heaton felled Wayne Routledge were waved away.

Three minutes from the break Bafetimbi Gomis, who scored the fortuitous winner against United, watched as his low 20-yard attempt towards the bottom-right corner was kept out by Heaton.

In first-half stoppage time Jonjo Shelvey's curling shot edged narrowly wide of the top-right corner.

The deadlock was broken in the 64th minute in unfortunate circumstances when Burnley right-back Trippier's attempt to clear the ball after Heaton had superbly saved Federico Fernandez's shot ended with the ball going over the line.

Dyche introduced Sam Vokes for Michael Kightly for the last quarter of an hour and the substitution almosr paid dividends.

With six minutes remaining Boyd crossed to Vokes who had a gilt-edged chance to level from the centre of the box only for Fabianski to turn the ball wide of the post.

The loss left Burnley, who have now failed to win in 13 league outings, on 22 points, third from bottom, with Swansea moving up a spot into eighth.
