    Chris Wood's starred up front, but is giving the thumbs up to the other end of the pitch


    The All Whites striker opened the scoring for Burnley in their 2-nil Premier League win over Manchester United at Old Trafford.

    Wood says it's fantastic team result.



    Wood has now scored 10 goals for the season and Burnley are up to 13th on the ladder, just four points behind United in 5th.
