The Clarets star was played in by Vincent Kompany's
disastrous header to secure a vital and unexpected win for the
relegation-threatened side, who are within a point of safety
A blunder from Vincent Kompany cost Manchester City dearly as lowly Burnley beat them 1-0 at Turf Moor.
The reigning Premier League champions lost another chance to catch up on leaders Chelsea, while Sean Dyche's side moved to within one point of safety after a shock victory.
Kompany's wayward defensive header just after the hour proved the key moment, unwittingly playing in George Boyd, who hit a thunderous first-time volley past Joe Hart to send the home crowd wild.
The visitors, though, were enraged when a stoppage-time penalty call went against them, Ben Mee appearing to catch Pablo Zabaleta rather than the ball, but the Argentine was instead punished for simulation.
