Sean Dyche celebrated his 350th league game in charge of the Clarets with the win that means he will continue at the helm of a Premier League club.

First-half goals from Ashley Westwood and Chris Wood – his 50th for Burnley and eighth in eight games at a critical stage of the season – got the job done as the Clarets admirably held their nerve in Fulham’s last-chance saloon.
