Burnley 3-1 Brentford: Three first-half goals sees Sean Dyche's men earn their first win of the season

Happy anniversary to Sean Dyche indeed. Nine years after taking charge at Turf Moor his Burnley side produced one of their most breathtaking top-flight performances to claim their first win of the season against an ordinary-looking Brentford.

Goals from Chris Wood, Matt Lowton and Maxwel Cornet helped to build a party atmosphere during a first half in which Thomas Frank’s side were lucky to go in just three behind. Saman Ghoddos replied with a second-half consolation for the out-of-sorts visitors.

Time and again Claret shirts burst forward towards Alvaro Fernandez’s goal. The Spaniard was making his Premier League debut in place of the injured David Raya and it is one he will want to forget.
