Swansea City 1-2 Burnley: Ian Maatsen double seals leaders' sixth straight win

Leaders Burnley claimed a sixth straight Championship victory as Ian Maatsen's spectacular first-half double secured a 2-1 win at Swansea City.

Maatsen's early free-kick put Burnley ahead and he doubled the lead with a drive from outside the box.

Ollie Cooper quickly pulled a goal back for a Swansea side who had some good spells.

But Burnley held on relatively comfortably in a second half where they missed chances to extend their lead.

Their latest triumph - it is now 10 in their 11 league matches - saw Vincent Kompany's team move six points clear at the top, with second-placed Sheffield United playing later.
