Burnley opened their Premier League account for the season as strikes Sam Vokes and Andre Gray secured a 2-0 victory against Liverpool at Turf Moor.
Sean Dyche's side, who lost their opening game of the season to Swansea, were in front after just two minutes thanks to Vokes' powerful opener.
The hosts doubled their advantage in the 37th minute and it was Vokes' strike partner, Gray, whose right-footed finish left Simon Mignolet with no chance.

But it was Burnley's afternoon as they claimed their first win over Liverpool at home in the league since 1973.
Dyche made one change to the side that lost 1-0 on the opening day, bringing in club record signing Steven Defour into the starting 11 for David Jones.
And Burnley made their intentions clear in just the second minute, pressing high with Gray winning the ball back deep in the Liverpool half. Gray then picked out Vokes, who turned on the edge of the penalty area before picking out the corner of the net with an excellent right-footed finish to give the hosts the perfect start.

Sturridge was next to go close, curling a left-footed shot from just outside the penalty area inches wide as the frustration continued to build for the visitors.
Burnley continued to look a threat on the break with the pace of Gray up front and they doubled their advantage in the 37th minute and it was Defour, who started things off for the hosts.
