Fan Report: Swansea City 1-0 Burnley
Record Swansea signing Scott Sinclair clinched all three points for the home side, as Burnley slumped to their first defeat of the season in Wales.

Fan Preview: Swansea City vs Burnley
With both sides buoyed from 3-1 victories in the League Cup this week, this should be an entertaining clash at the Liberty Stadium.
Swansea were pretty much full strength in their game against Tranmere, which could work in Burnley’s advantage, as they rested nine of the side that beat Leicester at Morecambe.

Fan Report: Burnley 3-0 Leicester City
It says a lot about Burnley’s promotion credentials that they rarely got out of first gear in this 3-0 win over their Leicester counterparts.
Content to nit pick at Leicester’s quick passing triangles, counter-attacking was the order of the day for the Clarets, for whom defensive lynchpin Andre Bikey was again immense.
It was a shaky start [...]

Fan Preview: Ipswich vs Burnley
With both sides buoyed by impressive opening day successes, this should be an intriguing clash at Portman Road.
Burnley should, in theory, be the fresher of the two sides, with Ipswich having played 120 minutes in their League Cup triumph over Exeter on Tuesday.
But Roy Keane will not tolerate complacency.
He has shown even at this early [...]

Fan Report: Burnley 1-0 Nottingham Forest
Of every club journeyman striker Chris Iwelumo has played at, he can’t have had too many better debuts than this.
A winning debut goal, coupled with the fans’ man-of-the-match accolade, made for the first repayment of the £500,000 Brian Laws has invested in him.
But as impressive as Iwelumo was, this was a game won from the [...]
