It might not have felt like it recently, but 2018 was a famous year for the Clarets.
And thanks to a magnificent and desperately needed win, Sean Dyche’s men ended it in fitting style.
Finishing seventh in the Premier League and qualifying for Europe was beginning to feel like a fading memory on the back of a run of nine defeats in 11 games which had dragged the Clarets into the relegation places.
The fight is far from over, but a second home win since September featuring a first senior goal from 19-year-old Dwight McNeil and the return in goal of club captain Tom Heaton wound back the clock and restored the feel-good factor.
