Norwich City 2, Burnley 0

The Championship, Saturday, April 5th, 2008

BURNLEY'S hopes of a play-off place are all but extinguished with defeat at Carrow Road.

Veteran striker Dion Dublin tapped home from close range with less than two minutes on the clock, following good wingplay from Jamie Cureton.

But the win wasn't sealed until injury time, as Darren Huckerby broke before feeding Ched Evans, who beat his man before firing through Brian Jensen.

Burnley were not at the races throughout, and got what they deserved after a poor display.

Kyle Lafferty had the Clarets' best chance of the game in the second period, as David Marshall produced a fine stop to deny him after the Northern Ireland striker had beat the offside trap.

But not many inside Carrow Road could begrudge the home side the win and the points, as Burnley's hopes of a top six slot dwindle further.
