Sheffield United 1-4 Burnley: Clarets boost survival hopes as victory over rock bottom Blades in relegation six-pointer moves Vincent Kompany's side just three points from safety

Burnley kept their Premier League survival hopes after beating Sheffield United 4-1.

Jacob Bruun Larsen and Lorenz Assignon both found the net in the first half to put Vincent Kompany's side in control before Gustavo Hamer halved the deficit.

However, goals from Lyle Foster and substitute Johann Berg Gudmundsson after the break moved the Clarets just three points adrift of safety.

The rock bottom hosts, meanwhile, look all but destined for an immediate return to the Championship with the gap between them and 17th place now 10 points.
