Could this game just be another double for the Clarets, after the 8-0 home drubbing of Forest earlier in the season? The answer was yes, but a victory only by the odd goal. Forest came into the game currently occupying 17th place in the League and to be fair to them, they were not enjoying the best of seasons.

The game itself was definitely not one of the best, Burnley's stalwart defence managed to snuff out any threat on goal that came their way, McIlroy was named as Man Of The Match after putting in another one of his masterful displays. In fact it was from one of McIlroy's superb crosses that Pointer put away the only goal of the game. Pretty or not it was another two points in the bag and Burnley continued their march towards their goal of the League Title.
