Burnley's form had brought a series of Ls before Saturday's Premier League meeting with Sheffield United.
Seven straight losses in all competitions had left them bottom of the table - but a 5-0 thrashing of Sheffield United ended that run with a first home victory of the campaign, a week on from losing 2-1 here against West Ham in injury time.
"It feels so good," said manager Vincent Kompany. "We were desperate to do it as well. It was good against Crystal Palace and West Ham, you don't know when it is coming but we always believed it was coming and hopefully it's a starting point.
