Burnley revival continues as Vydra seals win over Wolves

0


Matej Vydra's goal secured Burnley a 1-0 win over Wolves to boost their chances of Premier League survival and continue their revival under caretaker boss Mike Jackson.

A second consecutive victory after Thursday's 2-0 win against Southampton lifted Burnley out of the relegation zone for the first time since October - temporarily, at least. The Clarets move two points above Everton, who play Liverpool at Anfield in the Merseyside derby on Sunday at 4.30pm

Vydra, who was making just his second start of the year as he came in to replace the injured Maxwel Cornet, broke the deadlock (62) after finishing from the edge of the six-yard box following a Wout Weghorst cut-back.

Wolves were the stronger side in the first half, but failed to recover after Burnley went in front. Jonny Otto's deflected effort in the opening 45 minutes, which was saved by Nick Pope, was the closest they came to scoring.

Defeat - a third in four games - dealt yet another blow to Wolves' chances of European qualification, and they remain three points adrift of seventh-placed West Ham.
