Despite only winning 1-0, Burnley produced a dominant display to see off Bristol City in their fight for Championship promotion.

Zian Flemming’s delightful free-kick proved to be the difference as the Clarets extended their impressive unbeaten run to 26 games.

More significantly, with Leeds United being held to a 2-2 draw against Swansea City, Scott Parker’s side now sit level on points with the Elland Road outfit.

Here’s how Burnley’s players rated:
