Burnley maintained the pressure on the teams above them in the race for European qualification with a comfortable 2-0 victory over nine-man Norwich City.
Emiliano Buendia was dismissed on 35 minutes after referee Kevin Friend reviewed the midfielder's clash with Ashley Westwood on the pitch-side monitor.
The Canaries then had Josip Drmic sent off for serious foul play before Chris Wood's overhead kick gave Burnley the lead in first-half stoppage time.
Norwich goalkeeper Tim Krul made a number of saves but was helpless when his team-mate Ben Godfrey turned Erik Pieters' cross into his own net to double the Clarets' advantage 10 minutes from time.
Onel Hernandez then forced a smart save from Nick Pope, whose 15th clean sheet of the season puts him in pole position for the Golden Glove award.
