Aston Villa wrapped up 2023 with a dramatic victory as Douglas Luiz’s late penalty claimed a 3-2 triumph over 10-man Burnley.
Luiz converted from the spot in the 89th minute, his seventh goal of the season, to secure all three points at Villa Park in the club’s final match of the year.
The hosts had twice taken the lead through Leon Bailey and Moussa Diaby, with Ollie Watkins claiming both assists.
But the Clarets hit back on each occasion courtesy of Zeki Amdouni and Lyle Foster, with Sander Berge seeing red for the visitors early in the second half.
Victory ensures Villa, who recorded a first league double over Burnley since 1925/26, extend their unbeaten home run in the Premier League to 17 matches and make it an incredible 85 points this calendar year.
