Burnley 4-0 Swansea City: Burnley hammer Swansea to move to top of table

Burnley moved to the top of the Championship as a brilliant first-half display saw them cruise to a dominant 4-0 win over a poor Swansea City.

The Clarets were 2-0 up in 30 minutes, scoring with their first two efforts on target thanks to Vitinho's header and Jay Rodriguez' close-range finish.

Anass Zaroury's first Burnley goal capped a dominate 45 minutes.

Rodriguez scored Burnley's fourth goal on 58 minutes before Joel Piroe was sent off for a stamp on Josh Cullen.

Burnley's style of play was praised by Swansea boss Russell Martin pre-match and the hosts justified his words with a superb display that saw them dominate the match from start to finish.
