Matej Vydra's goal was his first for Burnley since 22 September 2018
Matej Vydra's superb goal boosted Burnley's hopes of playing in Europe for the second time in three years as they won a weather-affected Premier League game at Southampton.
The result lifts the Clarets up to 10th, five points behind Sheffield United in fifth.
The visitors had made the perfect start on the south coast, Ashley Westwood scoring direct from a corner after 93 seconds.
Danny Ings, who was deceived by the flight of the ball for Westwood's goal, made amends by equalising with a rasping drive into the bottom right corner from 18 yards.
With Saints mastering the wet and windy conditions brought on by Storm Dennis better than their opponents, Jack Stephens then headed Sofiane Boufal's delivery against the Burnley crossbar as the hosts pressed for a winner.
But Vydra's stunning left-foot effort, into the top-left corner from 18 yards, ensured Burnley claimed their first league double over Southampton since 1947.
