Burnley went into this game as the lowest scorers in the Premier League with just three goals, and nearly matched that tally.
The Clarets managed to pull two goals out of the bag, with an important victory against Watford.
Goals came from record signing Jeff Hendrick and Michael Keane in the 38th and 50th minutes. Hendrick opened the scoreline with a header from a Steven Defour cross – scoring his first ever goal for the club.
Burnley were worthy winners, Isaac Success came close late on for Watford but the Clarets held on for a comfortable victory.

Manager Sean Dyche will be pleased with his side’s victory and much needed three points, against a Hornets side which had toppled Manchester United in their previous Premier League match.
The Clarets are also without striker Andre Gray, who was starting a four-match ban for comments on social media back in 2012. If the Clarets continue put in performances like this, then they shouldn’t have a problem with picking up enough points to survive.
The victory for Burnley now means that the Clarets are level on seven points with Watford.
