Burnley returned to the Championship top spot after their win against Norwich City, spawning a hilarious peak behind the curtain into Scott Parker’s side.

Burnley beat Norwich 2-1 on Friday evening to ensure their return to the Championship’s summit ahead of Saturday’s fixture list.

Scott Parker’s side began the night in second, but thanks to goals from duo Jaidon Anthony and Hannibal Mejbri, the Clarets reclaimed their spot at the peak to maintain a three-point advantage over second-place Leeds United.

Hannibal dispatched a lofted ball well to net his first in Clarets colours before Anthony’s deflected effort double their lead with only 25 minutes played.

Canaries substitute Jack Stacey’s late goal proved nothing more than a consolation as Parker’s side saw out the imperative victory.

It was that goalscoring duo’s high-spirits interview, after the game, that offered insight as to why Burnley are heading into the business end in their best season form.

“Off camera, he’s (Anthony) crazy. Too much vibes. Him, Marcus (Edwards), Josh Laurent, everyone. Too much vibes. There’s too much vibes in the changing room. It’s so good to be in this changing room, what do you think?”

To which Anthony responded: “100 percent, obviously we just want to have a good time and it’s always nice when you’re winning.”
