Aston Villa v Burnley LIVE: Premier League score and results as Douglas Luiz nets late penalty

100 minutes of frantic, fantastic football come to a close, with that last-ditch penalty from Douglas Luiz handing all three points to Aston Villa! Burnley's task went from difficult to near-impossible after Berge was shown a second yellow card just 11 minutes into the second period, leaving the visitors a man down for the remainder of the game. They certainly rallied though, with Foster splitting the defence to race into the box and slot home a fantastic equaliser against the run of play. Villa pressed hard for a third goal throughout the half, testing the 10 men of Burnley and their goalkeeper Trafford with efforts from McGinn, Diaby, Watkins and Luiz. The latter was the beneficiary when substituted Jhon Duran went down in the box, with former Villa midfielder and younger Ramsey brother Aaron the man penalised. Despite twice hitting the bar, Luiz found the back of the net from 12 yards, and that was enough to finally break Burnley's resistance and secure a 3-2 win. Villa's two-game winless run is halted as they end 2023 in second, level on points with Liverpool at the Premier League's summit, while Burnley remain second from bottom, five points from safety and in need of a positive start to 2024.

FULL-TIME: ASTON VILLA 3-2 BURNLEY.

The ball breaks kindly for Villa and Watkins races into open pasture on the counter-attack, but he's stopped in his tracks by Vitinho sliding across to scythe the ball away.

Delcroix gets forward for Burnley and lines up a cross into the area, but it's deflected on the way and headed into touch by Torres!

Tresor cuts inside and curls a cross in towards the far post, but no-one in yellow can get near the ball and behind it goes for a goal-kick.

Yellow Card John McGinn

That's Douglas Luiz's sixth goal of the season, fourth successful penalty in a row, and Villa's 11th goal in the last 15 minutes of their second halves this season. Only Liverpool (15) and Luton (13) have scored more often in this period.

Yellow Card Damián Emiliano Martínez Romero

We're into NINE added minutes at Villa Park - hold on to your hats, because there's little to suggest the carnage we've seen so far has any chance of slowing down!
