Wood ends Burnley's wait for first get of the season
Burnley won for the very first time in the Premier Group this year as Chris Real wood sealed a 1-0 success against Crystal Palace on Monday.
Sean Dyche's side had failed to win some of their 1st seven games in the joint worst commence to a season on the club's history.
The Clarets were the only Premier League team yet to score a home goal this term until New Zealand striker Hardwood put them in advance in the first half against Palace.
That was more than enough to clinch a good much-needed three things for Burnley, who climbed out from the relegation zone in the expense of Fulham.
Palace were missing Ivory Coast forwards Wilfried Zaha after he tested great for the coronavirus.
It was the first league video game Zaha had missed since February 2019 and Roy Hodgson's side lacked a cutting edge without him because they slumped to a second defeat in three game titles.
Palace had a go on target within 90 seconds when Nathaniel Clyne's long-range rocket was tipped over by Nick Pope.
Burnley had managed just three little league goals this year and hadn't scored since October 3 when Ashley Westwood netted in a defeat at Newcastle.
But Timber ended that four-video game goalless run found in the eighth minute when he fired residence from Jay Rodriguez's flick after an unhealthy headed clearance from Cheikhou Kouyate.
Burnley were unbeaten within their previous 14 home league games if they scored the first target.
Using more confidence because of Wood's opener, they threatened once again through Dwight McNeil's 20-lawn drive.
Palace went near equalising when Jordan Ayew worked space to pull a good stop from Pope, who had to create another excellent preserve to preserve out Andros Townsend's curling effort.
Burnley were inches from doubling their business lead after the interval whenever a flowing move ended with McNeil's move to Johann Gudmundsson, whose growing strike from the border of the area cannoned off the bar.
Michy Batshuayi should have equalised when he latched onto McNeil's wayward back-pass, but Pope was quickly away his line to block the Belgian's scuffed shot.
Pope was in excellent form and he found Burnley's rescue again found in stoppage period when he somehow clawed away Christian Benteke's close-range shot.
Southampton will go third if indeed they win at Wolves found in Monday's second match.
