Burnley v Crystal Palace
Michy Batshuayi scored his second goal since joining Crystal Palace on loan from Chelsea
Crystal Palace put in a superb away performance to win at relegation rivals Burnley and take another step towards securing their top-flight status.
The two sides went into the game level on 30 points and Palace made the early breakthrough as Jeffrey Schlupp's cut-back cannoned off Phil Bardsley's thigh into his own net.
Burnley began to show their frustration towards the end of the first half and Michy Batshuayi doubled Palace's lead just after the break, sweeping in a low ball by fit-again full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Wilfried Zaha then grabbed the goal his work-rate and class deserved, tormenting the Burnley defence before firing low past Tom Heaton.
Ashley Barnes pulled one back late on while substitute Peter Crouch almost set up a nervy finish, but Palace held on to claim a victory that sees them climb to 13th in the Premier League, eight points clear of the bottom three.
