Islam Slimani scored in the first minute of added time in the first half.

The Clarets had now lost 30 of the 40 away games they had played in the Premier League (won four). They had lost both of their first two away games in this Premier League by a 0-3 scoreline after losing only one game in the whole of the 2015-16 season by a three-goal margin.
