Burnley 0-0 Everton: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Ladbrokes’ post-match review of Burnley 0-0 Everton in the Premier League on Saturday, 27 December 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Burnley and Everton played out a goalless draw with the final score 0-0. The first half saw Burnley holding more of the ball but neither side could break the deadlock, with the home team pushing forward without creating clear chances. Everton looked to counter but struggled to find rhythm, reflecting their recent losses against Arsenal and Chelsea that have left them searching for consistency.

In the second half, Burnley made changes around the 53rd minute when Florentino replaced Josh Cullen, aiming to freshen up the midfield, but the game remained tight. Everton responded with substitutions of their own, bringing on Merlin Röhl for Carlos Alcaraz at 69 minutes and Thierno Barry for Beto a minute later, yet they couldn’t convert pressure into goals. This result extends Burnley’s winless run, following draws and losses in their last five, while Everton add a point after back-to-back defeats but build on earlier wins against Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth.

Burnley edged possession with 55% compared to Everton’s 45%, suggesting they controlled the tempo for much of the match, though this didn’t translate into goals. They also led in corners 7-5 and successful dribbles 32-26, pointing to more attacking intent and ability to beat defenders, but Everton’s defence held firm without conceding.

Everton picked up two yellow cards while Burnley had none, indicating some frustration or tactical fouls from the visitors late on. Both teams used substitutions effectively, with Burnley making four changes – Florentino on for Josh Cullen at 53 minutes, Jaidon Anthony for Jacob Bruun Larsen at 73 minutes, and Zian Flemming for Armando Broja plus Mike Tresor for Marcus Edwards both at 88 minutes – while Everton made three, including Merlin Röhl for Carlos Alcaraz at 69 minutes, Thierno Barry for Beto at 70 minutes, and Nathan Patterson for Tyler Dibling at 88 minutes. No penalties, assists or injury-time goals were recorded, underlining a match low on clear scoring opportunities.

The match stayed goalless throughout, with substitutions marking the main shifts as both teams sought to change the flow. Burnley brought on Florentino to replace Josh Cullen at 53 minutes, followed by Jaidon Anthony for Jacob Bruun Larsen at 73 minutes, and late double changes at 88 minutes where Zian Flemming came on for Armando Broja and Mike Tresor for Marcus Edwards, but these didn’t unlock Everton’s defence.

Everton made their moves around the 70-minute mark, with Merlin Röhl replacing Carlos Alcaraz at 69 minutes and Thierno Barry coming on for Beto at 70 minutes, before Nathan Patterson took over from Tyler Dibling at 88 minutes. Yellow cards added tension for Everton, with Tim Iroegbunam booked at 80 minutes and Tyler Dibling at 85 minutes, potentially disrupting their rhythm in the closing stages.

Burnley set up in a 3-4-3 formation, focusing on width and midfield control, with players like Josh Cullen starting in the engine room before his substitution. Armando Broja led the line up front, supported by Jacob Bruun Larsen and Marcus Edwards, who both made way late on for Zian Flemming and Mike Tresor respectively. This shape allowed them to dominate possession but lacked the cutting edge in attack.

Everton lined up in a 4-2-3-1, emphasising defensive solidity with attacking support behind Beto, who was replaced by Thierno Barry midway through the second half. Carlos Alcaraz featured in midfield before Merlin Röhl came on, while Tyler Dibling started but picked up a yellow card and was subbed off for Nathan Patterson late in the game. The setup helped them absorb pressure and look for counters.

Martin Dúbravka earned Ladbrokes’ Man of the Match award for his solid performance in goal, making six saves to keep a clean sheet with zero goals conceded. His seven clearances and five punches were crucial in dealing with Burnley’s pressure, especially from corners, ensuring Everton came away with a point.
