Burnley rediscovered some of their old swagger as they brushed aside West Ham 2-0 to ease their relegation worries.
Chris Wood got his now customary strike against the Hammers before the outstanding 19-year-old Dwight McNeil bagged his first Premier League goal - both inside the opening 35 minutes.
Four days after they were thrashed 5-1 here by Everton, Burnley looked resolute at the back and confident going forward as they secured only their second win since the start of October, offering reminders of why they were playing their way into Europe this time last year.
Relive the action below.

Crystal Palace 0-1 Chelsea

Four minutes of added time will be played. Morata has a great chance to pick out a teammate on the break but loses the ball and Palace continue to push forward.
Crystal Palace 0-1 Chelsea
90+2 minutes
Milivojevic curls a free kick dangerously towards the far post. Luiz is there with a strong header. Good defending from the Brazilian centre back.
Full time: That's it! Chelsea hold on, but they always looked comfortable. A narrow, unspectacular victory at Selhurst Park, but no less important than any of their previous wins. Chelsea move to within a point of Manchester City and go five clear of fifth placed Arsenal.
Kante's goal was enough for Chelsea in the end. Palace defended well for much of the game, but they didn't have enough to threaten the Blues' defence. Hodgson's side stay in 14th, still with work to do to remain out of trouble this season.
Our attention turns to the 2.15 kick offs now. Manchester City go to Southampton looking to avoid a third consecutive defeat, while Burnley, desperate for points, host West Ham.
Team News
Here are the Southampton and Manchester City teams:
City make five changes to their team, with Kompany and Fernandinho back.
For Southampton, it's a youthful lineup. Kayne Ramsay, just 18-years-old, starts for the Saints.
A few weeks back this would have been viewed as a near guaranteed City win. But their poor form and Southampton's resurgence under new boss Ralph Hasenhuttl makes this an interesting one. If City don't win, the gap to Liverpool will be even bigger ahead of next week's crucial game against the Reds at the Etihad.
The teams are out at St Mary's. Kick off is minutes away...
