ENGLAND, Mar. 8, 2016 (AMP) — Championship / Match day 36: Five wins in a row for Burnley. After their success against Rotherham United, Nottingham Forest, Bolton Wanderers and Blackburn Rovers, Burnley continued their sensational form in the Championship with a 3-2 victory over Fulham this Tuesday.

Sam Vokes scored dual goals

Fulham had started off well by taking the lead thanks to goals by McCormack ('17) and Dembélé ('22), while Burnley only scored once Vokes ('9). Trailing 2-1 at half time, Burnley players nonetheless manage to reverse the direction of the game by scoring twice in the second period (Vokes '49 on penalty and Gray '61).

Burnley remains in first place with 71 points from 36 games, a 4-point lead over runner-up Middlesbrough FC, which has a game in hand.
