35’
A goal each from strikers Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood earned Burnley a 2-1 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers that lifted them out of the bottom three.
Wolves looked bright early on, Pedro Neto cutting in and hitting a low shot which was saved by Nick Pope. At the other end Wood hooked a shot just wide, before Barnes forced a point-blank save from Rui Patricio.
On 35 minutes, a run and cross by Burnley's Charlie Taylor allowed Barnes to head the opener at the far post.
Josh Brownhill curled a free-kick fractionally wide soon after that.
Burnley's pressure paid off six minutes after half-time, when Ben Mee headed a free-kick across goal, Rayan Ait-Nouri failed to clear and Wood smashed in the loose ball for the hosts' second.
Wolves pushed for a response and, in the 89th minute, Burnley substitute Josh Benson fouled Fabio Silva, himself a replacement, to concede a penalty that the Portuguese forward hammered in.
Romain Saiss fired a late shot wide, but Burnley held out for the win.
Burnley climb to 16th, on 13 points, while Wolves are 11th on 20.
