The Clarets leapfrogged West Brom and Fulham in the top flight as Chris Wood's early goal was enough to see off Crystal Palace at Turf Moor.

The New Zealander netted his second goal of the term in the eighth minute when beating Vicente Guaita from close range.

Sean Dyche's side are now 17th in the table, four points adrift of nearest rivals Brighton.
