Scott Parker’s men extended their unbeaten run to 23 league games with a dominant 4-0 win over 10-man Luton Town.
Elsewhere in the fight for promotion, Sheffield United edged past Preston North End 1-0 while Sunderland also overcame Cardiff City 2-1.
The real surprise came at Fratton Park, however, as league leaders Leeds United were beaten 1-0 by Portsmouth to end their 17-game unbeaten streak.
Perhaps a little surprisingly, only one Burnley man features in this week’s team of the week.
The team is based on ratings provided by WhoScored.com and comprises the top performers across the Championship over the latest match day.
Here’s the team in full:
