TEN-MAN Burnley stand little chance of spoiling Crystal Palace's play-off party.

The Clarets fell behind to a Ben Watson penalty after just seven minutes, with defender Clarke Carlisle sent off in the process for his clumsy foul on Scott Sinclair.

Victor Moses made it 2-0 just a minute later.

Robbie Blake brought a smart save from Julian Speroni, but Tom Soares all but put a Palace win beyond doubt eight minutes before the break with his sixth goal of the season.
