Burnley marked manager Sean Dyche's ninth anniversary in charge by claiming a commanding first Premier League victory of the season against Brentford at Turf Moor.
Victory was virtually secured before half-time, with summer signing Maxwel Cornet continuing his superb start to life in the English top-flight by giving the Clarets a deserved 3-0 lead at the break with a wonderful finish into the top corner.
Chris Wood had fired the hosts in front after just four minutes, producing a fine first-time strike after Matt Lowton's pass evaded the outstretched leg of Bees defender Ethan Pinnock.
Right-back Lowton's header from Charlie Taylor's cross then doubled the advantage before Cornet ensured Burnley's first-half superiority was fully reflected.
Brentford were much-improved after the interval. Christian Norgaard forced Nick Pope into action and Ivan Toney went close after a rare moment of confusion in the Clarets' defence.
But while Saman Ghoddos' excellent volley eventually reduced Burnley's advantage with 11 minutes remaining, Thomas Frank's side were unable to produce a sensational late rally and slumped to a third successive league defeat.
Afterwards, Lowton said: "It was a perfect afternoon. We weren't far off [a first victory in the league] but we had to tidy up the details at both ends and that's what we did today. We had to get that win, now we can build some momentum.
"Going ahead early helps. We stuck at it and got a second and third before half-time. Brentford have big centre-halves - anything down the middle they clean up. We worked on our wing play and caused all sorts of problems down the sides.
"Three points is the main thing. It's a bit of relief and delight at the same time. We haven't been far off. We haven't been getting too disheartened with performances, but we knew we needed the win. We'll look to build on it."
