We caught up with Up The Clarets unofficial fans website editor, chief sports reporter and super fan Tony Scholes for his take on his sides blistering start to the campaign that has got the fans dreaming of their first taste of the premier league. The clarets turned on the style after falling behind to an early Marcus Gayle goal for the visitors to go into the break 3-1 up, and although both sides had chances in the 2nd half Burnley were well in control and really in no real danger of surrendering not only the lead, but their grip on the championship top spot.
After Burnley beat 3rd place Watford at Turf Moor 3-1 on Saturday it took them 11 points clear of the visitors on what was billed by the Burnley boss as a season defining game.
