Everything that boss Vincent Kompany touches has turned to gold at Burnley — and that comes as no surprise what-so-ever to midfielder Josh Cullen.

"It would be unbelievable [to get to the Premier League], it's what you set out to do as a youngster. "I think he can go right to the top. It was one that I felt would be a very good one from the beginning.

So, this is one to monitor in the coming weeks and it will surely happen as there’s no obstacles to this deal. This would be a very good move for Long as he clearly has no future at Turf Moor and it would benefit his career if he left in January in order to get more game time. Hibs in particular could be in the market for a new defender as they are resigned to losing Ryan Porteous in the coming weeks, with a host of Championship clubs chasing the Scotland international.

Hannibal with a strong challenge on Benson which goes unpunished, seemed to get some of the ball but you'd get a foul nine times out of 10 with the way the Blues man slid in. Burnley are in second gear at the moment, Birmingham searching for a way back into this one and seeing plenty of the ball but creating precious little. And on the ball, which is something we expect from every player in the team, is to contribute to attacking play and perhaps even score a goal. The second half was relatively incident free, with the visitors doing their best to fashion a way back in but Burnley keeping them at arm's length. It ended a move of real quality from the home side, quality that few other sides in this league possess. He set up the opener inside a minute and scored a superb second on the stroke of half time.

A scintillating first half display from Championship leaders Burnley overwhelmed Birmingham City on a difficult night at Turf Moor.

Tried to create something in the second half but it just wasn't there. Typically strong in the air - and back on long throw duty towards the end - but his distribution was a mixed bag. Had more help in the second half and seemed ever willing to get forward. Looked half a yard off the pace but not unreasonably felt he was fouled for the opening goal. It was all a bit head-spinning for the 18-year-old as Burnley flooded his side. A tough evening for the Man Utd loanee. At least tried to give his side an outlet in the first 45. Although Burnley dominated the first half with possession and territory they only had three shots on Ruddy's goal, two of them went in but the goalkeeper couldn't do much about either. Got caught overdoing it once in the second half which left the door open. The home side dominated possession throughout, carved Blues open in the first half and looked every inch promotion favourites en route to a 3-0 victory. Burnley weren't as rampant in the second period but they did still create openings.

The Clarets went close again as the marauding Zaroury cut in from the left and curved a cross towards the penalty spot. Burnley then set about killing Birmingham’s interest in the game, with Benson carving inside from the right and firing a shot inches over John Ruddy’s bar. Benson and Roberts combined again, with the Belgian playing a one-two off his Welsh team-mate and then firing over the bar.

Burnley beat Birmingham 3-0 with Anass Zaroury scoring the quickest Championship goal this season while Paul Ince suffers as Reading hung on for a win.

“But we just have to feel comfortable in winning games and feel comfortable when you’re in a winning position. “I wanted to grab the guy by the throat and fight him,” Martin said. And then we gave away that second goal, that was just pathetic.” “That’s the way the lads are in this moment of time. “We made hard work of it in the end but that’s us, isn’t it?” Ince said. Andy Carroll gave Reading a 27th-minute lead from close range and Yakou Méïté should have added to it before half-time but blazed over from the penalty spot.

Reading boosted their playoff hopes with a 2-1 win over Swansea. Paul Ince's side climb up to eighth with only goal difference keeping them out of the top six.

However, more importantly they are 11 clear of rivals Blackburn, who sit third, with the top two automatically promoted to the top flight. The win takes Kompany’s men back three points clear of Sheffield United at the top of the table. Moroccan winger Zaroury, who played for his country in the third place playoff just 10 days earlier, was thrown straight back into the action by manager Vincent Kompany and responded by scoring the quickest goal in the Championship this season after just 50 seconds.

His side were only able to muster a single shot on goal, which was off-target, and a measly 33 per cent possession over the course of 90 minutes. And we put in the effort as a coaching staff to make sure these guys are all ready when they are called upon." "As long as he keeps doing that then the sky's the limit, but we'll just monitor those habits. That in itself demonstrates just how difficult the skill of reaching three-figures is to master. The ex-Belgium international is a natural-born winner and, whether he cares to admit it or not, he would love to turn this season into a point of reference for other teams in the future, just as the aforementioned quintet did.

There is no reason to look back, we carry on and prepare for every scenario. He is one of them and is one of the driving forces of that. It remains to be seen whether they will opt to bring Tella back to the south coast and Burnley would love to keep him for the season, with the playing time and style of play at Turf Moor certainly developing the former Arsenal youngster's game. "What I look for, and what I like as a coach, is that you want to work with players who want to improve. It is as simple as that. It took his tally to eight in what has been a superb season so far at Turf Moor.

We huffed and puffed for the rest of the first half, limited them to good chances. "Second half we came out, changed a few things and thought we did OK.

Obviously he was ready!" Millions lined the streets to welcome the side home.

The Wales right-back scored and provided an assist in the comprehensive win against Birmingham that took Burnley 11 points clear of third.

The challenge is for him to do it consistently. His focus had already turned to the next game and how Roberts can continue to improve. The victory over Birmingham was as routine and comfortable as Kompany could have wished for. This was Roberts’ best performance of the campaign and he has picked the perfect time to remind Kompany of his qualities. Roberts had also been one of the players targeted with criticism earlier in the season when Burnley were still trying to piece things together under Kompany. He even admitted that every game he navigated without suffering an injury was a relief and another one to tick off on the road to Qatar. As Kompany’s side has evolved, the attacking instincts of Roberts and Vitinho from right-back have provided more creative balance down both flanks. Burnley barely got out of second gear and now sit 11 points clear of third place. Roberts made a forward run that allowed Benson to move into the space he had vacated… He is so alert and certain in his movement that opponents do not have time to react before he is away from them and awaiting a pass.

He got a great goal again and I am sure he will score more this season. There is no reason to look back, we carry on and prepare for every scenario." "We are really lucky with the group we have.

On-loan Leeds United star Stuart McKinstry is in demand down south, according to reports.

Vincent Kompany's Burnley have been keen to add to their squad since being relegated from the Premier League last season, and are top of the Championship by three points over Sheffield United, courtesy of their 3-0 win over Birmingham last night. The 20-year-old is on loan at his boyhood club from Leeds United, and though he is thought to be highly regarded at Elland Road, his contract expires in the summer. Burnley, Stoke City and Sheffield United are believed to be on the trail of on-loan Motherwell winger Stuart McKinstry.

Match verdict as Burnley restore three point Championship advantage with win over Birmingham City.

The second half was relatively incident free, with the visitors doing their best to fashion a way back in but Burnley keeping them at arm's length. It ended a move of real quality from the home side, quality that few other sides in this league possess. It meant most of the action was in midfield, where there were a few flashpoints and bookings for Josh Cullen, Hannibal Mejbri and Tahith Chong as tempers flared. In the second half, with Burnley in control without being at their best, Roberts played his part in a professional Clarets showing as they closed out another win and another three points. Birmingham wanted a foul on the edge of the Burnley box for a challenge by Jay Rodriguez but didn't get it. The Welshman is in possession of the shirt at right back with Vitinho injured and delivered arguably his best display as a Claret in the win over Birmingham.
