Clarets boss reflects on three points against the Tigers

Head Coach Scott Parker thought Wednesday night's performance against Hull City was some of the best football they have played all season, as the Clarets secured a 17th Sky Bet Championship win of the 2024/25 campaign.

Burnley controlled the opening stages and broke the deadlock with just three minutes played, as Bashir Humphreys drilled home his first goal for the Club.

The home side added a second shortly after when Zian Flemming headed home a perfect Jaidon Anthony cross and Parker was more than pleased with his team's display, as they secured a Championship record-breaking 10th straight clean sheet in the process.

Speaking post-match at Turf Moor, Parker said: “I’m really happy, I thought we were top tonight. I thought we were really good. We started the game really well, obviously an early goal really helped settle us a little bit and I thought from there we just went through the gears really.

“I thought we looked every bit of a top team. We moved the ball with a real intensity and we had an intent about us with real detail. We were probably worthy of a couple more really going in at half-time and then in the second half, of course Hull are going to change things a little bit and I thought we saw the game out really well."

Parker added: “I think it was (some of the best football played all season). I think it's fair to say the first-half was convincing.

“I think I've probably been seeing that. I've seen it in training the last couple of weeks and I've seen it generally in our performances. Certainly the Oxford game resembled it as well.

“Like I said, we moved the ball really well, took the ball to spaces where we could exploit them and did it really well."

The two goalscorer's marked special moments, with Humphreys' opener being his first for the Club and Flemming's first Turf Moor goal, to take his tally to nine for the season.

“I was really pleased for both. Bash, obviously it’s his first goal for the club, he comes inside and it’s a lovely strike from him.

"I’m also pleased for Flem. Obviously, all of his goals have been well documented and have come away from home, so I'm pleased that he manages to get one tonight in front of our home fans.

“It was lovely, lovely play by Jaidon Anthony, he stands one up and Zian finishes it.”
