00:00Here at a noisy turf war where Burnley have just thrashed Sheffield Wednesday 4-0 in a
00:09peculiar game really for much of it. Burnley were the second best side. Wednesday caused
00:16them a lot of problems. I'm not sure how they didn't score, especially in the first half
00:21Burnley just didn't get going. Burnley to their credit defended really well but yeah
00:26it's a combination of a good defending and poor finishing from Wednesday and it's a 12th
00:31clean sheet now which is, yeah, I'm not sure what more to say about the defending. Second
00:36half the carriage were just utterly clinical really but it was goal. Mano Benson's finish
00:43at the end, right foot top corner that probably sums it up. Mark Sedgwick's made a difference
00:49from the start. He bought that quarter they've been lacking all season. That ability to create
00:54something from nothing. Once he got the second goal from Josh Brownhill, straight off the
00:59bench. It's 48 seconds after coming on, his first touch. Burnley went to another level
01:04and played some really lovely stuff but up until that point it had been a really difficult
01:09game here. Wednesday made it really difficult for them. But as it is, it's 4-0. The scoreline
01:14we're not really seeing at turf war this season and the gap now to top two is back down to
01:18two points ahead of that intriguing game at Bramall Lane on Monday night as the top two
01:23face one another. So yeah, exactly the sort of result Burnley needed to reignite their
01:28potion push.
