Goals from Marcus Edwards, Josh Brownhill, Connor Roberts and Manuel Benson scored an emphatic 4-0 win for Scott Parker’s side.
The scoreline doesn’t entirely tell the full story though, as the Clarets were second best for the first 45 minutes and could easy have found themselves a goal or two down at the break.
But yet again they kept another clean sheet – their 12th consecutive shutout – all the while finding their shooting boots in front of goal to record a vital three points in the hunt for promotion.
