Championship: Leaders Burnley in control against Birmingham

Burnley looking to wrap this up.

Ian Maatsen races forward from left-back and sends in a teasing cross but no takers.

  • We're back under way.

    Burnley 45 minutes from going 11 points clear of third-placed Blackburn.

  • Two goals - both netted by returning World Cup players.

    After Moroccan maverick Anass Zarouri's stunning opener, set up by Connor Roberts, the Welshman then brilliantly got in on the act himself.

    In contrast to the frustrating time he had in Qatar playing for an under-performing Wales, he has been a constant attacking menace down the right during the opening 45 minutes, which could explain why Hannibal Mejbri chose to take him out to spark the ugly scenes not long before the interval.
