Burnley defenders impress in win over Stoke to ease relegation fears

This is a modal window.

Sean Dyche has no complaints with Burnley's win against Stoke, but wants more results like this on the road.

Burnley recorded a massive three points to move up to 12th in the Premier League, ending an eight-game run without a win in all competitions by beating Stoke City 1-0.

George Boyd scored the only goal of a very tight game at Turf Moor as the Clarets picked up their 10th home win of the season to increase the gap to the relegation zone to a surely unassailable eight points.

Positives

In some ways, this was arguably the biggest match of the season for Burnley, who had seen their 10-point cushion cut to just five as their poor run of form in a testy stretch of their season saw them slip to 15th heading into Tuesday's game.
