“ Burnley into top four “

Substitute Ashley Barnes' late winner ensured Burnley's remarkable start to the season continued as they moved into fourth place in the Premier League with victory over Stoke at Turf Moor.

Barring the first two games of this season, this is the highest the Clarets have been in the top flight since March 1975.

Barnes' strike - after the ball ricocheted off team-mate Scott Arfield - was one of few clear-cut chances in the match, with Stoke's Peter Crouch hitting the post early on.

Sean Dyche's side climb into the Champions League places above Tottenham, Arsenal and Liverpool - who all play on Wednesday - while Stoke stay 15th.

Since 2003, the only club to have qualified for the Champions League other than those in the top six after last weekend was Leicester in 2016.

I know we still got loads of time and anything can happen, BUT could Burnley make it into the top 4 come the end of this season?? Just imagine that above Arsenal and Tottenham, if this happens I am sure both managers will feel pressure to be sacked, well done Burnley the underdog climbing the table, fingers cross they stay there. :thumbright: :ayatollah: :bluebird: :bluescarf:
