Barnes and Wood back in business as Clarets fire again to climb clear of bottom three 

 The double-act of Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood came good again as the Clarets continued their resurgence to move up to 16th place in the Premier League – their highest position so far this season.

 The Clarets had been the lowest scorers in the top tier so far this term, despite their recent run of just one defeat in their last six games.

 But any pressure the frontmen may have been feeling disappeared as Barnes scored his first goal in over a year on his return to the side to give Burnley a half-time lead.

 And Wood’s first goal in five games since a winner against Crystal Palace wrapped up a second home success of the season early in the second half as Sean Dyche’s men survived a late Fabio Silva penalty to move decisively out of the bottom three.

 It was the first time Wood and Barnes had scored in the same game since they did so in successive matches in November, 2019.

No secret I rate Ashley, well done to him and the rest of the lads. It is a sin fans can not watch this live.
Well done SD.

Have we got our mojo back?

I enjoyed the all game for the first time this season, well, apart from the nervy last 5 minutes.

I see the Wolves' manager was moaning about the referee to deflect attention away from the fact that we totally out played them.
