Burnley revival continues as Vydra seals win over Wolves

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.

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.

The 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.

Burnley's new-found form following the sacking of Sean Dyche - two wins and a draw - has now dragged Leeds firmly back into the fight for survival, with the Clarets just two points off Jesse Marsch's side. Leeds will be looking to extend that gap on Monday Night Football when they travel to Crystal Palace, live on Sky Sports.
