It wasn't a classic but Burnley's narrow victory leaves Everton needing points in the battle for Premier League survival.
Far more fluid than they ever used to be under, the Clarets are now able to go toe-to-toe against sides of Wolves’ stature and gain results. If the raucous nature of the celebrations after the goal and after the final whistle was anything to go by, there has been new life breathed into this side and they seem capable of the battle for safety. Even a team like Sunday’s, which had seemed to tire with three games in the past week, was capable of being creative in the final third.

Whatever happens between now and the end of the campaign, he is unlikely to score a more important goal than this. It duly arrived when Weghorst snuck in behind the back three and dragged the ball across goal for Vydra to do the rest for his second goal of the season. They were simply not clinical enough to make a compelling case for being in that race here on an underwhelming and frustrating afternoon for the visitors. It is now two wins in four days and seven points from the three games since Dyche was sacked and Jackson was placed in caretaker charge. But in one well‑crafted moment of brilliance Wout Weghorst’s clever run behind the Wolves defence enabled him to turn the ball inside for Vydra and send Turf Moor into raptures. He may no longer preside over this parish but the spirit of Sean Dyche still lingers in so much of what Burnley do well.

We have a long way to go in terms of what we want to achieve and the prize at the end of it and what it means to everybody. Different to Newcastle, but we were the better team and played well, we played the way we should. We are not scoring goals; I'm happy with the players' work, but in terms of putting teams in a different level, the European level, we can't score goals. But we didn't score one goal and one mistake and we concede a goal. I swapped position with Jay [Rodriguez] after starting on the left and my target was to put pressure on [Willy] Boly. Nathan Collins. Error let in Jimenez and he's sprinted 20 yards to make up for it. My first [goal of the season] was Chelsea away, it was an important goal. We couldn’t take that risk but we knew Aaron could get a certain amount of game time and when he came on he did terrific. There is a lot of work to do but I think they are clever enough to know that that can’t happen. 10 days on and it has already been vindicated with the Clarets having renewed hope and belief and a real chance of finishing above the dotted line – something that looked a long way off after that dispiriting defeat to Norwich City a fortnight ago. We tweaked a few things at half-time that we needed to get better. Vydra’s goal, from a Wout Weghorst square pass, settled a close contest and took Burnley’s run under interim boss Mike Jackson to seven points from three games in a week.
