There has been no place like home for Chris Iwelumo since the Scotland striker swapped Wolves for Burnley.[LNB]And a double took his remarkable record at Turf Moor to seven goals in six games as the hosts surged up to fifth place in the table.[LNB]Chris Eagles also struck twice and Burnley boss Brian Laws said: 'Chris and Chris will get the headlines but we are playing with confidence and being creative.'[LNB]Angry Hull manager Nigel Pearson said: 'It was a shocking performance by us. Just because you concede one goal, it doesn't mean you have to fold.[LNB]We gave ourselves ridiculous problems and I'm not happy.' Pearson's side had not conceded in three games but that run ended in spectacular style as goalkeeper Matt Duke was beaten four times in the space of 40 minutes.[LNB] Impressive: Chris Eagles (right) just missed out on a hat-trick with a late chance[LNB]First Iwelumo headed in Tyrone Mears' cross from six yards beforeEagles latched on to an incisive pass from Danny Fox to drill in a lowshot.[LNB]Then Hull, usually so disciplined, pressed the self-destruct button.On-loan Liverpool defender Daniel Ayala needlessly handballed and, withusual penalty taker Graham Alexander on the bench, Eagles scored from12 yards.[LNB]And the rout was complete when Duke spilled a Jay Rodriguez shot atthe feet of Iwelumo, who completed his double from close range.[LNB]'We were lethal in front of goal,' added Laws.[LNB]Eagles almost scored another with an audacious 40-yard lob and Laws said: 'When he is on form like that, he is unplayable.'[LNB] QPR 0 Millwall 0: Rangers lose perfect home record as battling Lions claim valuable pointDerby 3 Middlesbrough 1: Rams heap the pressure on Gordan Strachan[LNB]
