After securing a pivotal victory against Sheffield Wednesday, Burnley’s manager Scott Parker expressed contentment with his team’s performance as they climbed to the top of the Championship table with a 2-0 win at Hillsborough. The Clarets sealed the deal with goals from Jaidon Anthony and Josh Brownhill, returning to Lancashire with a well-deserved three points.
Despite facing strong challenges from Wednesday, including threats from players like Djeidi Gassama, Iké Ugbo, and Michael Smith, Parker’s squad emerged victorious. Acknowledging the demanding circumstances at S6, Parker commended his team’s resilience, emphasizing the need to ‘stand up’ in crucial moments.
“I was really satisfied,” Parker reflected post-match. “Our strong start set the tone for the game. While facing tough opposition in a formidable venue like this, we had to exhibit resilience and quality to secure the win.”
Praising his team’s overall performance and another clean sheet, Parker added, “Our attacking prowess was evident, creating significant scoring opportunities. While the first half was competitive, we managed to assert control in the second half and clinch the victory.”
Looking ahead, Wednesday focuses on their upcoming match against Swansea City, eager to bounce back in front of their home supporters, while Burnley prepares to face Hull City in their next fixture.
