Burnley 2-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers: Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood on target

Ashley Barnes scored his first goal in more than a year as Burnley beat Wolves at Turf Moor to move three points clear of the Premier League relegation zone.

It was a convincing performance from Sean Dyche's outfit, who have now lost only once in their past seven games and are unbeaten in four matches.

Barnes nodded in at the back post to put the hosts ahead from Charlie Taylor's cross following a swift counter-attack in the first half.

Chris Wood then reacted quickest to thump in from close range and double Burnley's lead as Wolves failed to clear a free-kick after the break.
