PARKER'S POST-MATCH POINTS: MANCHESTER CITY (H)
Clarets boss reflects on defeat at Turf Moor
2026-04-22T21:46:59.003Z
Scott Parker spoke to the media following Burnley's loss to Manchester City on Wednesday evening.
The 1-0 defeat, which arrived courtesy of a goal from Erling Haaland, confirmed the Clarets' relegation from the Premier League, on a night when victory for the visitors saw them leapfrog Arsenal to the top of the table.
Speaking post-match at Turf Moor, here's what the Burnley boss had to say.
PROUD IN DEFEAT
“I’m immensely proud of the team tonight.
“It was a formidable challenge and going a goal down so early on could’ve easily derailed us, but we stuck to the task.
“We created chances, which we weren’t deadly enough to take, and at the other end we defended well.
“We’ve left everything on the pitch tonight.”
RELEGATION CONFIRMED
“The curtain has come down on us now. We’ve failed and we’ve fallen short.
“The team has given me everything this season - but at times we’ve lacked the quality required in this league.
“We’ve not managed to survive. We’ve face a lot of adversity. But we’ve come up short.
“We need to learn from our mistakes as a football club.”
