BOURNEMOUTH 1-3 BURNLEY
Burnley boosted their Premier League survival hopes with a 3-1 victory over Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.
Goals from Chris Wood, Ashley Westwood and Ashley Barnes helped the Clarets turn the game around and move eight points clear of the relegation zone.
Sean Dyche’s side had fallen behind in the fourth minute when striker Barnes diverted Jefferson Lerma’s flick from a free-kick into his own net.
But Burnley soon responded with two goals in as many minutes.

Barnes added the third 12 minutes into the second half with an easy finish after Begovic spilled Charlie Taylor’s cross into Wood’s path.
HUDDERSFIELD 1-4Â LEICESTERÂ
Jamie Vardy scored his seventh Premier League goal in six games as Leicester made it four straight wins with a 4-1 victory at relegated Huddersfield.

Maddison scored as Leicester thrashed Huddersfield

NEWCASTLE 0-1 CRYSTAL PALACE
Skipper Luka Milivojevic fired Crystal Palace to the brink of Premier League safety from the penalty spot as Newcastle were made to pay for missed chances.
Milivojevic’s 81st-minute spot-kick sealed in 1-0 away win in a tight affair at St James’ Park on a day when victory for either side was likely to effectively end their fears of being dragged into the relegation battle.
