Early goals from Josh Brownhill and Jaidon Anthony were enough for the Clarets to play out a 2-0 win deep in South Wales, as Scott Parker’s men leapfrog Sheffield United and into second place.
The hosts barely laid a glove on the visitors, who now extend their unbeaten run to 25 games.
Here’s how Burnley’s players rated:

Defensively sound once again and always a willing runner down the left flank in support of Jaidon Anthony. Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
6. Josh Cullen - 7/10
On the front foot with plenty of good defensive work. Neat and tiny in possession as we’ve come to expect. Photo: Dan Istitene
7. Josh Laurent - 8/10
Dominated the midfield with his powerful runs from deep. Tracked back well to snuff out any Swansea danger. Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
8. Josh Brownhill - 8/10
In the right place at the right time once again to give Burnley an early lead, continuing his fine form with four goals in his last six games. Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
