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:
9. Josh Brownhill - 7/10
Popped up in different positions all over the pitch and almost added another goal to his tally when he had a shot cleared away near the goalline. Photo: Alex Livesey
10. Marcus Edwards - 7/10
An excellent watch with his dribbling and trickery. Just wish he’d shoot on his weaker right foot every once in a while! Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
11. Jaidon Anthony - 6/10
Gave it absolutely everything, but it just wasn’t his day in front of goal, missing three good chances to add a second. Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
12. Zian Flemming - 8/10
Provided the moment of quality with his beauty of a 30-yard free-kick. Much improved display too, holding the ball up and offering more of a physical presence. Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
