Republic of Ireland international Josh Cullen scored one and assisted another as Burnley got their Premier League campaign up and running with a 2-0 win over Sunderland at Turf Moor.
Second-half goals from Cullen and Jaidon Anthony gave the Clarets their first points back in the big time and edge the battle of the promoted teams.
A disallowed Burnley goal aside, there was little goalmouth action in the opening 45 minutes, but that changed quickly upon the resumption with the Irish midfielder central to proceedings.
Just 98 seconds into the second half, Anthony's clever flick opened things up for Cullen who stroked a 16-yard effort into the bottom corner.
Cullen's effort lit up Turf Moor but it was another light show shortly after which disrupted play as the floodlights began flashing in random patterns, causing a four-minute delay.
Sunderland threw bodies forward in an attempt to get something out of the game but they failed to test Dubravka.
And it left them exposed as Burnley killed the game in the 88th minute, with Anthony racing clear from Cullen's brilliant through ball, rounding Sunderland goalkeeper Robin Roefs and slamming into an empty net as boss Scott Parker celebrated his first Premier League win in almost three years.
Dango Ouattara celebrated his record £42.5million Brentford move with the winning goal as Keith Andrews earned his first victory as manager against Aston Villa at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Following an alarming collapse in their Premier League opener away to Nottingham Forest a week ago, the hosts hinted at life after Thomas Frank with a guileful display every bit as gritty and intelligent as those that were a hallmark under their former boss, grinding out a fine 1-0 win against a Villa side that ran out of ideas long before full-time.
The winning goal came early in the first half, a wonderfully direct link-up between goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, striker Igor Thiago whose Bees career looks finally to be taking off in earnest, and the always-powerful Ouattara, demonstrating why the club broke their transfer record in order to sign him from Bournemouth.
For Villa, it was a performance that took too long to get going, and by the time it did in the second half, Brentford were comfortable in their mission as the visitors registered only two shots on target in a vain search for their first goal of the season.
Marcus Tavernier's early deflected finish earned Bournemouth a 1-0 win over 10-man Wolves at Vitality Stadium.
The winger fired home a fourth-minute effort via a substantial touch off Wanderers defender Emmanuel Agbadou as the Cherries bounced back from last week's 4-2 loss to Liverpool.
Wolves were unable to prevent a second successive defeat this term after captain Toti Gomes was sent off in the 49th minute for pushing Bournemouth striker Evanilson in the back as he raced through on goal.
Andoni Iraola's hosts had plenty of chances to make the result more comfortable but were forced to endure a nervy ending.
Antoine Semenyo, who suffered racial abuse before scoring twice at Anfield, hit the crossbar minutes after assisting Tavernier's opener and threatened again in the second period, while Tyler Adams brought a fine save out of Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa.
