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:
