Burnley kept their bid for Europa League qualification alive as New Zealand striker Chris Wood inspired a 2-0 win over nine-man Norwich on Saturday.

Wood struck in first-half stoppage-time at Carrow Road after already relegated Norwich had Emiliano Buendia and Josip Drmic sent off.

Ben Godfrey’s late own goal extended Burnley’s unbeaten Premier League run to seven games as they climbed to ninth place.

They are one point behind seventh-placed Tottenham in the race to book a spot in next season’s Europa League.

The odds are still against Sean Dyche’s side reaching Europe as they have just one game left, while Tottenham, Sheffield United and Wolves all have two games to ensure they finish above the Clarets.

Emphasising their supreme organisation under Dyche, Burnley keeper Nick Pope is in contention to win the Premier League’s golden glove award for the most clean-sheets.

He now leads the way with 15, while Manchester City’s Ederson has 14.

In their last home game before they return to the Championship next season, following a record fifth relegation from the Premier League, Norwich hardly covered themselves in glory.

Daniel Farke’s bottom-of-the-table team have lost their last 10 games in all competitions and this was a total embarrassment.

The Canaries have failed to score in a league-high 19 games this season, including 11 of the past 13.

The turning point came when Norwich were reduced to 10 men in the 35th minute as Argentine midfielder Buendia needlessly clashed with Ashley Westwood.

Buendia elbowed the Burnley midfielder in the back of the head as he tried to get up after a collision between the pair.

VAR checked the incident and referee Kevin Friend watched a replay on the pitchside monitor before showing the red card.

In first-half stoppage-time, Norwich’s season-long habit of shooting themselves in the foot resurfaced.

Drmic was sent off after lunging into a reckless studs-up foul on Erik Pieters, with VAR consulted to approve Friend’s decision.

Norwich were the first team to have multiple players sent off in the first half of a Premier League game since Stoke in 2015.

A difficult day for Norwich got even worse moments later when Johann Gudmundsson’s cross picked out Wood six yards from goal.

Wood launched himself into an overhead kick that crept past Tim Krul’s despairing dive.

Krul was all that stood between Norwich and a thrashing as he denied Burnley several times in the second half.

But, summing up a season to forget for Norwich, Godfrey made a complete hash of clearing Pieters’ cross and turned the ball into his own net in the 80th minute.
