Your support makes all the difference.Burnley rediscovered some of their old swagger as they brushed aside West Ham 2-0 to ease their relegation worries.
Chris Wood got his now customary strike against the Hammers before the outstanding 19-year-old Dwight McNeil bagged his first Premier League goal - both inside the opening 35 minutes.
Four days after they were thrashed 5-1 here by Everton, Burnley looked resolute at the back and confident going forward as they secured only their second win since the start of October, offering reminders of why they were playing their way into Europe this time last year.

Burnley 2-0 West Ham
90 minutes
Tom Heaton, starting ahead of Joe Hart today, has made a great save to preserve Burnley's clean sheet. West Ham have thrown players forward late on but to no avail.
Southampton 1-3 Manchester City
90+1 minutes
Long should score a consolation. Ward-Prowse puts in an excellent delivery and the forward gets his head on it. But it flies wide. At that, St Mary's begins to empty.
Full time: It's finished at Turf Moor, where Burnley secure a vital three points. They move level on points with Southampton. That win, after some heavy defeats in recent weeks, will be a welcome confidence boost.
Full time: It's over at St Mary's too. City end their run of defeats with a comfortable win and go into their game with Liverpool next week seven points behind the league leaders.
City did the hard work in the first half. They just about weathered the Southampton storm following Højbjerg's equaliser and scored twice late in the half. After that, the second half was effectively a non-event. A big win for City, who couldn't afford another slip up.
For Southampton, it's two defeats in a row. Hasenhuttl has improved things, but there is still a lot of work to be done.
