Burnley moved eight points clear of the Premier League's relegation zone after George Boyd's goal secured a 1-0 win against Stoke City.

George Boyd scored the only goal as Burnley edged past Stoke City 1-0 at Turf Moor on Tuesday to move away from the Premier League's relegation zone.

Sean Dyche's side had not won in their last seven league matches to slip to 15th in the table and were in urgent need of three points against their mid-table visitors to release growing pressure.

A single goal was always likely to decide a scrappy affair that featured few clear-cut chances and it came after 58 low-quality minutes.
