Burnley’s hopes of English Premier League survival were boosted by routing last-placed Sheffield United 4-1 on Saturday.
Vincent Kompany’s team is putting together a late-season bid to avoid the drop with only one loss in seven in the league. Burnley is within three points of safety.
The win at Bramall Lane pushed Sheffield United closer to relegation, 10 points from safety with five games to go.
First-half goals from Jacob Bruun Larsen and Lorenz Assignon put Burnley in control by the break. Gustavo Hamer briefly gave the home fans hope of a fightback before Lyle Foster and Johann Berg Gudmundsson sealed Burnley’s fifth win of the campaign.
A good day for Burnley was made even better as relegation rival Luton was hammered at home by Brentford 5-1.
Luton, in 18th, had the chance to move out of the bottom three with a win, but is just two points ahead of Burnley in 19th.
Yoane Wissa struck twice for Brentford, which moved 10 points clear of the drop zone.
