Burnley goes second to put Leeds under pressure
Burnley won 2-0 away to Swansea City to go second in the EFL Championship and cut the gap to league leader Leeds United to just two points.
The Clarets had earlier seen Leeds drop points in a 2-2 draw away to Queens Park Rangers and capitalised, keeping a Championship record 27th clean sheet of the season in doing so.
Top scorer Josh Brownhill got things going after just four minutes, turning home Zian Flemming's cross after the latter had stolen possession in midfield.
Jaidon Anthony doubled the lead 16 minutes later, finishing from close range after a move started by goalscorer Brownhill.
Burnley saw out the match with relative ease from then on, with Swansea registering just one shot on target throughout the 90 minutes. The Swans are 16th on the table after this result, six points from the drop zone.
