The win saw Burnley move up to 17th, above Sheffield United, West Brom and Fulham.

Chris Wood netted the winner just eight minutes into the game – but afterwards, talk turned towards whether Sean Dyche’s men can avoid relegation this campaign.

Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, former Leeds United striker turned pundit Jermaine Beckford delivered his assessment on whether the Clarets can avoid the drop.

"Basing it on today’s performance [against Palace], I think they have enough to stay up,” Beckford explained.

“But I think they need to be a little more ruthless in goal, they had a couple of opportunities where I think they could have taken a little bit more care to really find the bottom corners of the net.

“But, that being said, they finished off beating Crystal Palace, who have been a very difficult opponent for many teams this season.”
