Jaidon Anthony was at the double as Scott Parker’s men showed huge character to beat the play-off chasing Sky Blues 2-1 on their own turf.
With Leeds United being held by Luton, the Clarets temporarily move top of the table ahead of Sheffield United’s 3pm kick-off.
Here’s how Burnley’s players rated:
9. Josh Brownhill - 7/10
