OVER! The first signs of life for Burnley after a magical run from Amdouni who shows great footwork to dance around a handful of Villa players. He tries his luck from outside the area but his right-footed whipped effort just drifts narrowly over the bar.

A late free-kick for Villa as Diaz whips in the ball from a central position. Carlos looks to head on it but Trafford comes through a crowded area to get a solid punch on the ball.

Cash and Diaby again combine down the right. The latter cuts the ball across the box but Watkins can't quite get a clear shot on goal at the near post and Burnley can clear.

With around ten minutes of normal time remaining in this first half, Burnley are still yet to register a shot on target.

CLOSE! Villa so close to a huge chance for a third goal as Diaby surges through the middle of the Burnley defence. He's expertly picked out by Diaz but it's a must-make tackle from Delcroix who dispossesses the Villa winger right before he looked to pull the trigger.

Foster nearly sneaks in behind the Villa defence after a nice, lofted pass from Cullen. The striker loses possession trying to round Olsen on the edge of the box but it wouldn't have counted regardless as the offside flag goes up.

Benson has been a bright spot in an otherwise bleak start for the Clarets this game. The winger skips past McGinn again but as he finds himself swarmed by Villa shirts as he closes in on the penalty area and loses the ball.
