Three Burnley players captained Erling Haaland in their Fantasy Premier League teams, who then went on to score twice against them, as revealed by a leak.

Josh Brownhill, Jack Cork, and Arijanet Muric are the three players who captained the Norwegian goal-hound.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper James Trafford did not select Haaland for his team and instead opted to back himself, making himself vice-captain.

Players and staff at Premier League football clubs have been warned in the past about the potential for leaks to occur when they play Fantasy Premier League.
