REVEALED: Three Burnley players captained Erling Haaland in their Fantasy Premier League teams before the Norwegian went on to score twice against them for Man City at Turf Moor

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 - and gained points in the fantasy game as he plundered their defence.

Meanwhile, goalkeeper James Trafford did not select Haaland for his team and instead opted to back himself, making himself vice-captain - a bold move which ultimately saw him lose out in the game.

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.
