Burnley boss Scott Parker has hailed his team's performance in the 2-1 victory at Coventry City on Saturday lunchtime.

The Clarets moved from third place to the top of the Championship table with just six matches left to play by virtue of their win at the CBS Arena in addition to promotion rivals Leeds and Sheffield United dropping points.

"It's a massive result for us," Parker told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"First and foremost we've come to a really tough place, the stadium was bouncing today, so we knew the challenge ahead of us and I thought we were superb today.

"For [the last] 15 minutes, any coach standing here suggesting there is a tactical element, there isn't, it's time to dig deep.

"This division is highly competitive. To be 27 matches unbeaten is something to be really proud of, hopefully we continue that."
