Burnley bag crucial win

- Football

Managerles­s Burnley moved to within a point of Premier League safety as first-half goals from defenders Connor Roberts and Nathan Collins delivered a 2-0 win over Southampto­n. Playing their first home game since the shock sacking of Sean Dyche last week, Burnley breathed newlife into their survival bid as they secured back-to-back home wins for the first time since December 2020. The win made it four points from six under caretaker boss Mike Jackson and was only their fourth victory in the last 25 at Turf Moor.
