Second-half goals from Josh Cullen and Jaidon Anthony gave the Clarets their first points back in the big time as they edged the battle of the promoted teams.

Cullen (below) slotted home just 98 seconds after the restart and Anthony bagged a breakaway goal in the final five minutes.

Burnley finished 24 points ahead of Sunderland in the Championship last season but the margin between the two teams looks set to be much closer this time around.

Boss Scott Parker celebrated his first Premier League win in almost three years and was thrilled.
