Bournemouth were only a fair few minutes from closing out Burnley and securing a much-needed 1-0 victory to snap their seven-game winless skid in the Premier League, but Armando Broja headed home a late equalizer to snap the Clarets’ seven-game losing streak instead.

Antoine Semenyo opened the scoring with his 8th goal of the season in the 67th minute, at which point Burnley hadn’t yet attempted a shot in the game. Scott Parker’s side ended up with four — all after the 85th minute — the last of which came off Broja’s head and made it 1-1 in the 90th minute. Broja hadn’t scored a PL goal since October 2023, due to a torn ACL and a pair of unsuccessful loans to Fulham and Everton (0 goals in 18 PL games combined).
Bournemouth (22 points) are down to 14th in the table. Burnley (11 points) remain 19th, five points away from safety.

The visiting Clarets have spiraled since winning back-to-back games in late October. Burnley are on a seven-match Premier League losing streak despite some game efforts as four of the losses came by one goal. Their hopes for Premier League safety are still healthy enough but every week that sees them in a spot like they are now — six points back of 17th — is one week closer to the drop.
Bournemouth have been seeking a win for just as long, even if Andoni Iraola’s Cherries have claimed points against West Ham, Chelsea, and Manchester United. Top-six hunters for some time, Bournemouth’s winless run has sunk them to 13th with 21 points. That’s as close to 17th and sixth, and now the Cherries will be without Tyler Adams for a while.
Bournemouth team news, focus
OUT: Tyler Adams (knee - MORE), Veljko Milosavljevic (knee), Ryan Christie (knee), Ben Gannon-Doak (hamstring), Matai Akinmboni (muscular) | QUESTIONABLE: Marcos Senesi (thigh)
Burnley team news, focus
OUT: Hannibal Mejbri (suspension), Lyle Foster (international duty - AFCON), Axel Tuanzebe (international duty - AFCON), Zeki Amdouni (knee), Jordan Beyer (knee), Connor Roberts (knee), Bashir Humphreys (muscular)
Bournemouth vs Burnley prediction
The Cherries will surely feel that their home pitch combined with an 19th-place foe is ripe for three points, and they’d be right given the way they attacked versus Manchester United on Monday. Burnley are missing three players for this one and it does feel a bridge too far. A point might be in the stars but we’ll keep our eyes on the ground. Bournemouth 1-0 Burnley.
