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:

14. SUB: Hannibal - 6/10

15. SUB: Luca Koleosho - 6/10
