90 mins in a 2-0 win over Wolves. McNeil scored plus a Wolves OG.
Huge result for Burnley. They are now 5 pts clear of Cardiff, who do have 2 games in hand. However next 2 games for Cardiff are Chelsea and Man City.
Fulham already relegated, and Huddersfield look certain for the drop - so it’s a fight to avoid that 3rd relegation spot.
Wood pretty much scored for that OG, his shot deflected off the post onto a defender's leg and in.

OG in the first minute.

key game will be ins couple of weeks, burnley verses Cardiff
If Cardiff can nick that game then it's tough for burnley as they have a tough last 4 games
League goal #8 for the season, header from a corner to draw Burnley level at Bournemouth.
edit: 1-3 win for Burnley by the looks, massive result in the context of their dodgy last 4 fixtures.

Assist for Wood as well for the goal from Barnes. Dominant performance from Burnley and a good overall game from Wood.
League goal #9 for the season alert.
Free header from a corner to put Burnley 1-0 up against Cardiff in the first half.

He's been playing well too, after hitting the post from a metre out in the first minute.
Also managing to wind up faux hard man Gunnarson.

And then his strike partner Barnes is booked for kissing a Cardiff player. What a game.
And a double for Wood, who makes it into double figures for the season twice in a row.
21 goals from 68 Premier League appearances all up, if my brief Wiki scan is correct.
Great game at Stamford Bridge, already 2-2 after 23 minutes. Wood with the assist for their second goal.
72 mins before being subbed, as Man City win 1-0 at Burnley.
Aguero with the goal.
Big result re the title race

According to a gutted Liverpool supporter I know (he stayed up to watch the Burnley v Man City game), Wood fluffed a one on one with the keeper.

Wood's chance to be a Liverpool hero is about 1.45 mins in. Not a great first touch.
Strange almost computer generated video.
One of eight players nominated for Premier League Player of the Month, alongside Salah, Hazard and co. Second time this year I believe, brilliant stuff

Looks like he was considering laying on another assist for Barnes and got it completely wrong.
Currently 2-0 down at Everton with just 20 minutes played. Could be a long night for the woodsman and his teammates
Finishes 2-0 to the Toffies. Wood 90 mins.
Burnley host Arsenal in their final game next week.
'Where is the love,' asks Ryan Nelsen.
77 mins in 1-3 loss to Arsenal.
Wood finished the season (29 starts) with 10 EPL goals for Burnley. Same as last season though he played less games 2017/18, due to injury with only 20 starts.
Didn't score his first EPL goal this season until November. Back then Burnley & the boy from the Tron were struggling.
Article recently on Stuff saying Wood must be NZ's most under valued sportsperson.
Have to agree. When I was living in the UK 20 years ago (pre even Nelsen), would have seemed fanciful for a Kiwi to have scored 20 odd goals in the world's most high profile league.
Well done Chris Wood, you deserve better from the NZ sports media/public.

It's also nice to have a striker better than anything Australia can currently offer :)

Why?
Because I live in Australia and have heard them going on about Cahill for the last 10 years
Do people in Australia talk about it care about kiwi strikers though?

Just scored his third goal now

Great control for the first goal (and pretty good for the third as well).
