Everton manager Sam Allardyce attributes his side's defeat at Burnley to failing to build on their early lead.

Everton manager Sam Allardyce has expressed his frustration after watching his side squander several goalscoring opportunities during their 2-1 defeat at Burnley.

The Blues boss attributed his side's fifth away loss on the spin to failing to build on the early lead Cenk Tosun's first goal in English football handed them.

"We lost it by not scoring the second goal when we had clear, clear opportunities. At least three in the first half," he told BBC Sport.

"Burnley hadn't won in 11 and if we went 2-0 up it would have been hugely difficult for them.

"We gifted them a goal which lifted the spirits around the ground. And I always dislike conceding from a corner, it could be avoided.

"That's five away defeats on the trot. It's simply not good enough."

The defeat leaves Everton in 10th place in the Premier League table.
