Burnley midfielder Ashley Westwood was happy with his contribution to victory over Southampton.

The Clarets defied the Storm Dennis conditions to produce a superb-away day display which propelled them clear of the Saints and within a point of Manchester United in ninth spot.

And they were helped on their way by a fastest away goal the Clarets had ever scored in the Premier League as Westwood curled in another trademark corner kick.

Danny Ings let the ball pass him and goalkeeper Alex McCarthy was already behind the line when he cleared the ball as far as Ben Mee, who made sure by ramming the loose ball into the net.

“I thought Ben tried to claim it," said Westwood, who was able to chalk up his second goal of the campaign with just 93 seconds gone.

“Luckily for me it was already over the line. It's a massive win for us and I'm delighted for Vyds.

“We said at half-time when we scored we sat off them a bit too much.

“The gaffer said we need to get more on the front foot and I think the second half won us the game.

“Even when we were on a bad run we never got our heads down here.

“The character in there is phenomenal. On the back of three difficult games this one today was massive for us."
