Crystal Palace took a further step towards Premier League survival with a 1-0 victory over Nahki Wells and his Burnley teammates, extending the visitors' winless run to seven games.
Wells was introduced tot eh game in the 85th minute, but Burnley who had climbed to fourth with victory over Stoke last month have struggled since and came up short again against a Palace side missing eight first-team regulars.
A second goal in two games from Bakary Sako was enough to secure the three points for the Eagles to take the hosts up to 12th and into serious contention for a top-10 finish having looked like near-certainties for relegation a few weeks ago.
REGGIE LAMBE
Reggie Lambe’s teammate Sam Cosgrove scored his first goal for Carlisle as they completed a winning double over Crewe with a 1-0 victory at Brunton Park.
Cosgrove signed a new deal until the end of the season in the build-up to the game and it was his header in the 76th minute that proved decisive.
Lambe was given the green light to start although he was nursing an injury was substituted at the half.
