Cometh the hour, cometh the man as a Junior Stanislas cracker put Burnley on the road to a top half finish with a 2-0 victory over Ipswich.
The second half substitute took just six minutes to fire home a deflected 60th minute winner in a carefree end-of-season Turf Moor clash. Martin Paterson rounded things off in style with an 88th minute tap-in from Danny Lafferty's header from a right wing Danny Ings’ corner. And all that meant Burnley not only secured the top half finish they wanted at kick off, but also finished above old rivals Blackburn Rovers for the first time since 1980. Burnley made two changes to the side that won at Wolves last weekend, with Brian Stock replacing David Edgar in midfield and Kevin Long recovering from his groin strain to replace the suspended Michael Duff in defence. And there was an early test for the Clarets as Patrick Kisnorbo headed just over from a second minute corner from Anthony Wordswoth. To read the full match report please click on the link below; |
