Burnley 4-0 Luton Town: Clarents maintain promotion hopes

Burnley head coach Scott Parker told BBC Radio Lancashire:

“Our performance was rock solid, showed our quality. Of course they got a man sent off pretty early in the game but sometimes that can prove pretty difficult [to play against].

“They’re a difficult side. I know where they are in the division but they’re fighting for their lives and we never gave them any oxygen today.

“We managed every scenario, nullified anything they could produce, defensively as a unit we were very good and in our moments [in attack], we were deadly and executed really well.

“They came here with a back five. Earlier on in the season playing against a stubborn team, we didn’t move the ball or create the angles, our movement wasn’t as precise as we’d like, but that was very different today.”

Luton Town boss Matt Bloomfield told BBC Three Counties Radio:

“For the first 18 minutes I thought we were excellent, our shape was very good and our discipline, and there were a few turnover moments when we were able to hit Burnley on the counter-attack.

“But with 10 men it was always going to be a very tough afternoon for us. In my opinion, the first one wasn’t a yellow, it was right in front of me and he gets the ball.

“Kal’s disappointed, understandably so. He’s an experienced boy, he knows the game but I’m not going to criticise him. He’s been excellent since we signed him.

“I’m proud of the way we kept going with 10 men, it would have been easy second half to go under and the boys stood up to be counted, they were fighting and we have to recognise that irrespective of the result.”
