History was made as Rebecca Welch became the first woman to referee a Premier League game. Burnley can create some history of their own if they avoid relegation. Before today’s victory, they were on eight points after 17 games; the fewest any club at the same stage of the season has survived with is 10.

Theirs is a desperate fight for survival so this triumph, lifting them off the bottom of the table after Wilson Odobert’s spectacular strike and Sander Berge’s equally well-hit goal, will do nicely.
