Burnley broke their away league duck at the 18th attempt, with goals from Ashley Barnes and Andre Gray securing a 2-0 win over Palace and moving them above Sam Allardyce's side into 16th.

Tarkowski told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph: “Our main priority was staying up. We could win every home game and lose every away game and still stay up. You want to get an away win though, especially for the fans who pay week in and week out and travel to see the matches, so it was nice to do it on Saturday."

On the reaction of the Palace support, he added: “There were pound coins and all sorts around me on the pitch.
