Burnley went six points clear of Sheffield United with a 3-1 win over Middlesbrough at Turf Moor on Saturday afternoon.

Duncan Watmore had pounced on an error from the hosts to give Michael Carrick’s side the lead but three goals in 12 minutes turned the game on its head.

Benson Manuel scored twice in seven minutes before an own goal from Jonny Howson made sure the hosts would claim all three points to strengthen their grip on top spot.
