00:00Just heading out of Turf Moor where Burnley picked up a crucial late win against Swansea City, 1-0.
00:07I think it was the 93rd or 94th minute the goal went in from the penalty spot from substitute Jay Rodriguez.
00:12It looked like it was going to be another frustrating one for the Clarets.
00:16A long, long wait for the goal. It looked like it was going to continue.
00:20It was six hours at the time that penalty went in since their last goal.
00:24It was the same story really, frustration.
00:27Created better chances today, created more, but just lacking that quality in the final third again.
00:32Swansea frustrated them.
00:34The away side had some chances themselves to be fair to them.
00:37A big one through Liam Cullen, headed off the line by Maxime Esteve.
00:41But Burnley, to be fair to them, they stuck at it, stayed patient.
00:45It looked like it was going to be another frustrating day.
00:48It would have been five games without a win had they not got that late winner.
00:52There was a handball in the box throughout the death.
00:55I think it was Josh Brown who initially looked like he was going to take it,
01:00but hands over to Jay Rodriguez and slotted it away.
01:03A huge relief at the end there.
01:05An important win to go into the international weight on something of a high.
01:08The gap to the top two now is just four rather than six points, which could make a big difference.
