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:
13. SUB: Zian Flemming - 6/10
For Edwards, 69 Slalomed his way through a couple of challenges before seeing a low shot well saved. Didn’t get much chance to get hold of the ball. Photo: Alex Livesey
14. SUB: Hannibal - 6/10
For Brownhill, 75 His extra energy and intensity was certainly required at a pivotal moment in the game, but he also risked a red card after picking up a needless booking. Photo: Alex Livesey
15. SUB: Jeremy Sarmiento - 6/10
For Foster, 87 Made a mess of late opportunity to wind the clock down, but thankfully Burnley weren’t made to pay. Photo: Alex Livesey
