    • 90+5 Final whistle, comfortable win in the end for Burnley, who move two points shy of the play-offs.
    • 90+5 Bad kick from the keeper Smith and Cork shoots form 40 yards but Smith gets back.
    • 90+4 Iwelumo meets the corner but heads over.
    • 90+3 Corner Burnley after good wide play by Delfouneso. Elliott to take from the right.
    • 90+2 Five added on in the end for those injuries to Burnley players.
    • 90+1 Poor effort from Mears as we enter stoppage time. Out for a goal kick.
    • 90' Cork is fouled but pops up straight away. Mears to take...
    • 89' Marney is down and in some pain... He's on his feet but doesn't look happy. Iwelumo STILL won't come off as Marney is replaced instead.
    • 88' Rodriguez is announced as man-of-the-match by the announcer at Turf Moor.
    • 87' Error from Bates, Rodriguez is on it, he takes them on and no past McManus but he puts it wide! Should have scored.
    • 86' Williams combines with Kink but runs it out of play.
    • 85' Rodriguez on a run again but he's stood up by the Boro defence.
    • 84' Jensen does well to readjust when a McDonald shot is deflected off Duff. This is an impressive late rally from Boro.
    • 82' McDonald handles and gets away without a booking.
    • 81' Burnley will be annoyed at that - they wanted to work on that goal difference as it looks tight going into the play-offs.
    • 80' Boro have pulled one back - Williams with a crack that hits the post, fine effort, and Taylor knocks in the rebound. 3-1.
    • 77' Corner to Boro as Bennett's ball hits a defender.
    • 75' BURNLEY SUB: Eagles is back on his feet but no risks taken and he comes off for Delfouneso.
    • 74' This is not good for Burnley as Eagles falls awkwardly - he stays down and Smallwood kicks it out.
    • 73' Delfouneso is warming up for Burnley. The on-loan Aston Villa forward may come on for Iwelumo.
    • 72' Carlisle gets into the game with a good interception from Smallwood's ball, Mears completes the clearance.
    • 71' Nope, Bikey won't continue. Clarke 'brains' Carlisle is on.
    • 70' Bikey seems okay. Burnley's rhythm a bit disrupted as Boro hold on to the ball for a bit.
    • 69' The physios are on for Bikey... He fell awkwardly after kneeing the ball away.
    • 68' Bikey has gone down off the ball... He cleared the ball and his shoulder has popped out I think...
    • 66' Fox and Marney combine well as Mears gets it, wide to Elliott. Super football from Burnley as Rodriguez shows some skill as they hold on to the ball.
    • 64' Cork feeds Eagles, he races clear and puts in a nice ball but Smallwood puts it behind for a corner. 9-1 on that count so far.
    • 63' Burnley clear the corner as Eagles races away but Bennett does well to intercept.
    • 62' Boro have their first corner, Smallwood to take.
    • 60' Lita's first touch is a shot but well wide.
    • 58' Reshuffle for Boro - Williams back in defence now as Lita goes up frot.
    • 57' BORO SUBS: Kink and Lita on for McMahon and Robson.
    • 55' Iwelumo was about to go through and a handball by Boro defender McManus, play on though as it comes to Rodriguez but he shoots weakly at Smith.
    • 53' Iwelumo penalised after McManus seems to handle.
    • 51' Eagles gets it on the right foot, he turns inside, seems to be pulled by Robson but plays on and he crosses but blocked. Could have been a penalty.
    • 50' Eagles finds Elliott, he plays it back post but it flies away from Iwelumo and out of play! Just needed a touch, possibly a better ball in from Elliott.
    • 49' Cork with an error, poor pass and Boro could be in but wasted by Williams.
    • 47' Arca plays it left, McManus on the ball, Williams to McDonald but Fox intercepts and races away, he tries to play it in and McDonald blocks. Throw.
    • 46' The second half is underway!
    • 45+3 Half-time and Burnley lead 3-0. Comfortable.
    • 45+2 Boro have a free-kick from deep but Jensen leaves it to go wide.
    • 45+2 Jensen with a super long ball, Rodriguez is in and he crosses for Iwelumo but beyond him! Better final ball and he could have been in for a fourth. Now Elliott has a chance but can't get the shot away. Boro all over the place.
    • 45+1 Chance for Boro as Bikey intercepts a dangerous cross and Jensen clears.
    • 45' Two minutes added time to be played as Jensen shows some fancy footwork to control and clear.
    • 44' Taylor puts a rare cross in for Boro but Bikey clears.
    • 42' Burnley play it about at the back before going long, McMahon gets it back to Smith.
    • 40' Goal kick to Burnley with Rodriguez doing defensive work to close down Williams.
    • 37' Fox takes the corner and it's in! A third and it's Duff who got the last touch, a great corner that caught Smith unawares and yes it's Duff who headed it in!
    • 36' Rodriguez chases a lost cause to win a corner for Burnley.
    • 35' Great 50-yard ball from Bikey but Elliott caught napping can't reach it.
    • 34' Free-kick to Burnley on the left, Bikey trots up for it late... Eagles short to Fox and he crosses back stick but behind for a corner before Iwelumo can nod it in.
    • 33' Duff robs Williams as he was set to bring it away, Eagles with a super run and McMahon takes him down cynically. Booking.
    • 30' Boro with a spell of possession but Elliott brings it away and the break is on - stopped by Bates though.
    • 27' Mears wins a corner on the right. Good stuff from Burnley, who are all over Boro.
    • 26' Rodriguez plays it over for Elliott, he races away on the left and Eagles is in support but Boro are back to clear.
    • 25' Jensen with a good take and he releases Eagles with a good throw.
    • 23' Eagles finds Rodriguez, super dribbling from him to buy space and he slips it in for ELLIOTT WITH A SUPER FINISH AND A SECOND! Two in two, thumping finish and wonderful play in the build-up.
    • 22' Fox takes the corner, he curls it in low AND RODRIGUEZ POPS IT IN! Training ground, Cork dummied it and a 14th of the season for the youngster.
    • 21' Good save by Smith from Eagles after the winger smacks one in after cutting inside from wide. Corner.
    • 20' Williams on the run, he gets away from the Burnley defence but Jensen flies out to claim at his feet. Jensen is annoyed, thinking Williams was late.
