00:00Burnley are back on top of the Championship on a 2-1 win over Norwich City.
00:05Massive, massive win. Every result now is absolutely key at the stage of the season.
00:09There's four games left now, but playing first, playing on Friday night, it was imperative.
00:15The Clarets took full advantage, put on the pressure, piled on the pressure on the other two,
00:19and they did exactly that. A bit nervy in the end, shouldn't have been more comfortable given
00:25how well they were played in the first half. They were dominant, came out of the box really well,
00:29real good intensity. Two ahead of the break, should have been three or four. Great to see
00:34Hannibal get his first goal of the club, took it really well, and a superb assist from Josh Cullen.
00:39And then Jay Nansen, it's nice of luck, but they've only deserved it with the deflection.
00:43But yeah, Norwich were so open, they've only took full advantage, which was a lovely play too.
00:49Second half was always going to be a case of just sort of seeing it out, being professional.
00:53It looked like the game was going to fizzle out with a 2-0, but Norwich bundled.
00:59One home from a corner. Six-yard box was a bit sloppy from Burnley, uncharacteristic.
01:03And then, you know, you're expecting the late onslaught, and Norwich did put men forward,
01:10the defenders came forward, the keeper came forward in the last minute.
01:13Three kicks in corners, but as we've seen quite a few times now, when Burnley hasn't defended,
01:19they do what's required to get the results. So yeah, 2-1 win, back in top.
01:23And then we wait to see what happens elsewhere this weekend. But either way, Burnley will be in the top two.
01:29Then, once you get down to the end, I mean, we have a good opportunity.
01:33I want you to go to the final event.
01:35We have a good opportunity.
01:37We've got to take a couple of minutes.
01:39Good night.
01:40We're going to have a good time.
01:41Right.
01:42We're going to have to take a couple of minutes to get started.
01:44Thanks, friends.
01:45Thanks.
01:46Thanks, for the time.
01:47And then we've got to take a couple of minutes.
01:48Thanks for the time.
01:48Thanks.
01:49And there'll be.
01:51Thanks.
01:52You're going to have to take a couple of minutes.
01:52And now, you know, we're going to be able to go somewhere.
