Burnley registered their first home win under Vincent Kompany, beating Millwall 2-0 to move onto the shoulder of Championship leaders Sheffield United.
A dour encounter was sparked into life by the arrival of Belgium Under-21 winger Manuel Benson in the second half, as he teed up Vitinho for the opening goal before Jay Rodriguez slid in a second.
Burnley had drawn all three of their previous home games and against a rugged Millwall defence it had started to look like they would fail to build on an emphatic 5-1 win at Wigan on Saturday.
For the Lions, their search for a victory away from home goes on and defeat at Turf Moor made it three losses in a row for the London side.
The first half saw Millwall sitting deep and seeking to counter methodical Burnley, and the visitors’ robust approach saw Charlie Cresswell, Shaun Hutchinson and Andreas Voglsammer all go in the book.
