McGinn frustrated by Burnley draw

John McGinn spoke of his frustration after Aston Villa were held to a 1-1 draw by Burnley.

Villa enjoyed 71^% possession, 22 shots on goal and nine corners but could only claim a point from their final home match of the campaign having found Clarets goalkeeper Nick Pope in inspired form.

It leaves the club 14^th in the Premier League table heading into the final weekend of the season.

And speaking post-match at Villa Park, McGinn felt Villa deserved to come away with all three points against Burnley.

“Extremely frustrating,” he told VillaTV.

“It probably sums up our season, a lot of chances to win the game, I think it was a lot more positive than Sunday (1-1 draw against Crystal Palace).

“We created a lot of chances and I think Nick Pope will be man of the match, some great saves.

“We’ve obviously got to work on a lot of things, we know our position in the table isn’t good enough.

“We’re not naïve enough to think it is.

“But here, overall, I think we deserved to win.”

Emi Buendía’s fourth goal of the season early in the second half cancelled out Ashley Barnes’ penalty on the stroke of half-time.

Emi Martínez and captain Tyrone Mings combined to thwart a late winner for Burnley, who saw Matthew Lowton sent off in injury time following a challenge on Calum Chambers.

But it was Pope who stole the headlines with a string of impressive saves throughout.

“It was a good performance in the second half, probably just (needed) a little bit more quality in the final third," McGinn added.

“We’re going to have games like that at Villa Park where away teams are going to sit in, counter-attack on us, get a penalty kick.

“Things like that are going to happen, we need to react better to that, create better chances than we did.

“We did create a lot but create better chances and be a little bit more clinical.”
