Palace raced to a 2-0 advantage at Selhurst Park on Wednesday, only for Burnley to score three goals in seven first-half minutes for a 3-2 comeback win that ended their 16-game Premier League winless streak. The £35 million signing from Tottenham, who came off the bench late, drew sharp criticism from supporters calling him the worst signing in football history, dreadful, and unable to beat defenders. Despite two goals this season and praise from some for his work rate, Johnson's lack of assists, low ratings, and tentative play have fueled frustration amid Palace's mid-table struggles and manager Oliver Glasner's planned exit.

Key Takeaway

Crystal Palace fans watched in disbelief as their team blew a 2-0 lead at home to Burnley, then turned their fury on sub Brennan Johnson.
