    Burnley should be top of the table and they should be further ahead, they have been brilliant all season.

    There have been moments when teams have scored late equalisers against them but Vincent Kompany will be so pleased that that are doing so well and picking up the points.

    Teams are scared to come to Turf Moor.

    Richard Chatterton: Us Blades aren't worried about Burnley, we can beat them in the air. It's the other 22 teams who worry us.

    Blackburn are more of an attacking side, there are better having a go at teams because they can score goals.

    But when they sit back they shoot themselves in the foot. The players aren't good enough yet to play the perfect game.

    Today Blackburn couldn't keep the ball and they couldn't get the ball off Burnley. The management have to stand up and be counted for that performance.

    Burnley were comfortable in the second period and they asserted pressure all over the park.

    Blackburn's game plan all seemed wrong to me, with playing out from the back, and they made it far too easy for Burnley.

    This is how we're looking headed into the World Cup break.

    Burnley are three points clear at the Championship, with Sheffield United in second place.

    Blackburn are still in the mix despite today's result.

    10 points separate the top six, albeit with sixth-placed Millwall having a game in hand on the rest of the frontrunners.

    Blackburn came for a 0-0 draw and it backfired on them completely.

    I'm shell-shocked by the performance. Blackburn didn't have plan.

    Burnley go into the World Cup break top of the table and they have done it in style.

    They will be very, very happy.

    Worth noting that just before the full-time whistle, some fireworks went off above Turf Moor which have apparently been set off from outside the ground.

    Fortunately they didn't land on any players and the game was able to continue for the final few seconds.

    As perfect a second half as you'd want if you're a Burnley fan.

    Vincent Kompany's Clarets go top of the Championship as we head into the World Cup sabbatical.

    Ashley Barnes' brace and Anass Zaroury's belter gifts them three points and the bragging rights against a Blackburn side who looked off the pace today.

    The bragging rights, and a massive step in the promotion push, go to Burnley.

    Not long left now. The home fans in fine voice.

    What an afternoon it's been for Burnley, who've judged this second half so well.

    Plenty to think about for Blackburn, on the other hand.

    Daniel Ayala goes into the book as Jack Cork goes to ground in the run up to the latest Burnley corner.

    Burnley send the corner that follows into the box and Blackburn head away.

    Meanwhile, Ashley Barnes comes off for the hosts. He's replaced by Halil Dervisoglu while Anass Zaroury is replaced by Joey Gudmundsson.

    It's gone from bad to worse for Blackburn. I put it down to the tactics Rovers came with.

    I understand teams come to Burnley to frustrate them and Blackburn have come in defensive mode.

    But they have been better this season when they have gone and attacked teams and scored goals.

    All over!

    The bragging rights, and spot at the top of the Championship, are going to Burnley!

    Ashley Barnes gets his second of the afternoon for the Clarets and his 50th goal for the club.

    Taylor Harwood-Bellis finds him with a cracking low ball, he composes himself, takes a touch, then sends a deflected shot home.
