Marcus Edwards scores his first goal for Clarets in 4-0 winBristol City relish 2-1 comeback win over Middlesbrough
Marcus Edwards marked his first Burnley start with the opening goal as the Clarets kept up the pressure on the sides above them with a 4-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday.
With the Championship’s top two Leeds and Sheffield United playing each other on Monday, third-placed Burnley took their chance to close the gap with second-half goals from Josh Brownhill, Connor Roberts and Manuel Benson.
Edwards, signed on loan from Sporting last month, opened the scoring after 43 minutes. Having played a short pass to Josh Cullen, Edwards received the return, benefited from a ricochet off Shea Charles and showed neat footwork before producing a close-range finish.
