BURNLEY continued their impressive scoring spree in front of the live television cameras, with a five goal thriller at Molineux tonight.
The win maintains Clarets manager Owen Coyle's 100 per cent record on the road and his unbeaten spell in charge goes on.
The visitors took the lead in bizarre fashion as Wolves keeper Wayne Hennessey spilled Robbie Blake's tame free kick into his own net.
It was harsh on the Welsh international, who just a minute earlier had bravely denied Andy Gray a certain goal.
However, the home side were back on level terms five minutes later when Clarets defender Clark Carlisle failed to clear a Darren Ward cross and Darron Gibson fired the ball in off the post.
The goals were coming thick and fast and Burnley retained their advantage on the half-hour mark when Wade Elliott picked out Kyle Lafferty at the back post and he stroked the ball home.
With five minutes to go before the break Clark Carlisle's deflected header made it 3-1.
But Wolves came out after the interval with intent and Andy Gray was harshly adjudged to have tugged on the shirt of Seyi Olofinjana inside the area and Stephen Elliott netted the penalty.
The home side threw everything at the Clarets in the remaining half-an-hour, but to no avail.
And substitute Joey Gudjonsson almost made sure of the victory when his piledriver of a free-kick was tipped over by Hennessey.
As the match approached injury-time Elliott was picked out just inside the box and as his measured shot flew goalwards, Jon Harley flew in it's way.
The challenge tipified the Clarets' resilient performance and guaranteed the points went back up the road to East Lancashire.
