Brave Burnley show ruthless streak to secure safety on landmark night at Craven Cottage.

Sean Dyche celebrated his 350th league game in charge of the Clarets with the win that means he will continue at the helm of a Premier League club. A second successive away victory – and sixth in all to get within one of their highest tally as a Premier League club – ensured that Burnley will stay up as they climbed to 14th place in the table and confirmed Fulham’s relegation back to the Championship. First-half goals from Ashley Westwood and Chris Wood – his 50th for Burnley and eighth in eight games at a critical stage of the season – got the job done as the Clarets admirably held their nerve in Fulham’s last-chance saloon. Having taken the initiative, the result was never really in doubt as the Clarets showed all the resolve and determination that turned their season around to keep them among the elite for a sixth successive season. From a position bottom of the table in November with one point from their opening six games – and no wins in their first seven games – Dyche’s men have performed heroics to pull themselves clear of danger.

Chris Wood bags another one in, let's hope he can do the same against Leeds who are up next.
What's the betting that Bamford scores against us?
Well done boys.
It's very rare one of our returning old boys doesn't score against us FC, but I'm hoping the rule won't apply to Bamford. Sean, for his own good reasons no doubt, ensured that he spent so little time in a Claret shirt that he hardly qualifies as an ex-player does he, just someone who popped in and did a bit of training with us.
So no, he won't score.
Or maybe he will.
