VANCOUVER - Joe Burnett's two interceptions staked the Edmonton Eskimos to a 27-14 victory over the B.C. Lions in CFL action Friday night.

Burnett returned his second pick-off 108 yards in the fourth quarter to secure the victory.

Edmonton improved to 3-1, moving into a share of first place in the West Division with Saskatchewan. The Lions fell to 2-2 as they suffered their second straight loss.

Burnett's first interception, in the second quarter, resulted in one of Grant Shaw's four field goals.

Hugh Charles produced Edmonton's only offensive touchdown. Punter Burke Dales rounded out the scoring with a 41-yard punt single in the final minute.

Marco Iannuzzi and Andrew Harris produced touchdowns for the Lions in a game that was uneventful until the latter stages.
