Boro run ended
Jay Rodriguez provided some homegrown spice as Burnley claimed their second win inside four days to move to within two points of the npower Championship play-off places with a 3-1 success over Middlesbrough.
The Burnley-born England Under-21 striker opened the scoring in clinical fashion in the 22nd minute and then embarked on a delightful run to provide a second for Wade Elliott a minute later.
Eight minutes before the break, defender Michael Duff was allowed the freedom of Turf Moor to head home unopposed from a corner as Eddie Howe's men moved to within striking distance of sixth-placed Leeds.
The Clarets face Simon Grayson's side at Elland Road on April 30, and having ended a dismal six-match winless sequence with victory over Swansea on Saturday, they may feel they are beginning to rediscover their best form when it matters most.
Middlesbrough replied through Andrew Taylor's late strike but the defensive flaws which have undermined them all season were glaringly apparent during the first half.
