Turf Moor finally had another home league win to cheer after an explosive start helped the Clarets secure a 2-1 win over Norwich City.
The Clarets found themselves two goals to the good in the time it takes to boil an egg!
Robbie and Co celebrate after only 55 seconds
Robbie Blake's header after only 55 seconds was followed by a quickfire second as Andy Gray struck home a third minute penalty following a foul on Blake.
But the Clarets almost ended up with yoke on their faces after the Canaries pulled one back midway through the second half from Chris Brown to set up a nervy last 20 minutes.
And it took a magnificent save from Gabor Kiraly to protect the precious lead and shoot the Clarets back up into the top half of the table.
Burnley made three changes to the side that got a creditable point against Barnsley on Saturday.
David Unsworth replaced the injured Steven Caldwell, with Blake and Kyle Lafferty coming in for Alan Mahon and Ade Akinbiyi.
And it was a dream start for the Clarets.
After defending a corner Lafferty raced fully 50 yards to feed Wade Elliott, who surged into the Norwich area. The cross was inch perfect for Blake, who steered a good header at the far post home from six yards out.
The evening got even better on three minutes when the visitors failed to clear more danger.
Blake cut into the Norwich box and was adjudged to have been up-ended as referee Mike Jones pointed to the spot.
Gray made no mistake from 12 yards, sending David Marshall the wrong way to notch his ninth of the season and double the advantage
Burnley continued to press and won a series of corners against a Norwich side looking low on confidence.
The visitors threatened very little and were restricted to half chances by a compact looking Burnley defence.
On 31 minutes Norwich did come close when Ian Murphy looped a header onto the roof of the net after a set piece from Simon Lappin.
After their first half superiority Burnley perhaps should have won at a canter, but the Clarets were not complaining as they went in at the interval 2-0 to the good.
And they were back on the attack from the restart. A corner, after great work from Lafferty and Blake, found Chris McCann on the edge of box, but his shot was deflected wide.
Blake got in behind the Norwich defence again on 50 minutes after another good counter attack, but this time the former Leeds United striker could only fire wide.
Marshall kept Burnley at bay just a minute later when he saved well at the near post from Elliott. McCann then blasted the resulting corner over.
But Norwich got back into the game on 68 minutes when substitute John Hartson chested down a Russell centre for Brown to smash past Kiraly.
Lafferty had a great chance to restore the two goal lead on 74 minutes, but he agonisingly guided his header wide from a superb, looping cross from substitute Alan Mahon.
And Kiraly kept the precious lead intact with an awesome save on 80 minutes, when it looked like Jamie Cureton was certain to level as he was sent clear through on goal only six yards out.
The game, much like in the corresponding section of the first half, thankfully brought no more close shaves as the clock ticked down.
And with Southampton next up in front of the Sky TV cameras on Saturday, the Clarets were delighted - and no doubt slightly relieved - to get back to winning ways.
