at Selhurst Park

THE Premier League’s two most senior teams, in terms of average age, squared up for what turned out to be a real six pointer down at Selhurst Park with Sean Dyche’s men picking up all three points with an impressive 3-0 win, equalling the club’s best away win in Premier League history.

“We get a few questions about how much we score, but it’s not like we haven’t been trying. I thought the front two were excellent today,” beamed the Burnley boss after the match.

The Clarets dominated the game from the first minute with the visitors being superior to their hosts in every department, resulting in Burnley taking an unsurprising lead after just five minutes.
