Boyd gives Burnley win over Cherries

Turf Moor claimed its fifth victims of the season as goals from Jeff Hendrick, Stephen Ward and George Boyd gave Burnley a home win over battling Bournemouth.

The Clarets deserved their win, with Hendrick's sumptuous dipping volley the pick of the goals, and have now taken 16 of their 17 points on home ground.

Benik Afobe had made it 2-1 in first-half injury time and Bournemouth briefly threatened to mimic their late comeback against Liverpool last week when Charlie Daniels finished brilliantly in the 90th minute, only to fall short.

The match marked a the first ever Premier League contest between the sides.
