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.

Southampton 1-1 Manchester City
43 minutes
Big appeals for a penalty as Ward-Prowse goes down under a challenge from Zinchenko. The referee isn't interested.
GOAL! Southampton 1-2 Manchester City (Ward-Prowse OG)
45 minutes
That's extremely harsh on Southampton. They were on top and had City on the back foot, but a deflection puts the visitors back in front. Sterling broke down the left and his attempted cross took a nasty ricochet off Ward-Prowse. McCarthy couldn't keep it out and Southampton trail again.
GOAL! Southampton 1-3 Manchester City (Aguero)
45+3 minutes
That's what City can do. Zinchenko makes amends for his earlier mistake, picking out Aguero with a cross, The Argentine makes no mistake with his header.
Half time: A dramatic end to the half at St Mary's. Southampton were really putting City under pressure at 1-1 and feel aggrieved that they weren't awarded a penalty. An unlucky deflection gave City the second and Aguero's header on the stroke of half time has put the visitors in control.
Half time: It's half time at Turf Moor, too, where Burnley have a two-goal lead over West Ham. If the scores stay as they are, Dyche's side will move level on points with Southampton, only in the bottom three on goal difference.
↵City, though, they were fortunate to regain the lead, have the quality to win games even when not at their best. They have a two-goal lead thanks to Aguero, and victory could be a much-needed confidence boost ahead of the Liverpool game.
Southampton make a change at half time: Redmond is on in place of Lemina.
Southampton get us going again. Can they pull off a famous comeback?
Southampton 1-3 Manchester City
47 minutes
Højbjerg takes on the first shot of the game having worked some space outside the box. It's an easy save for Ederson.
Southampton 1-3 Manchester City
50 minutes
The atmosphere at St Mary's, understandably, is a little flat. The two goals at the end of the first half seem to have ended any belief Southampton had. The timing, and the nature of them, was difficult to take.
