Burnley 1-0 Crystal Palace: Chris Wood goal gives Burnley first league win of season

Burnley won for the first time in the Premier League this season by beating Crystal Palace at Turf Moor to move out of the relegation zone.

The Clarets had lost five and drawn two of their first seven games to leave them second from bottom in the table.

However, Chris Wood's early strike - Burnley's first goal at home this season - proved the difference, with the forward driving home from Jay Rodriguez's pass after a mistake by the Crystal Palace defence.

Palace were without influential forward Wilfried Zaha after he tested positive for coronavirus and they missed his contribution in attack.
