And a few words from Chris Wilder: “Congratulations to Daniel and Leeds United, congratulations to Scott Parker and Burnley. We can still get to 90 points, this season’s not been a failure. It’s not been lost here – you can’t lose to Plymouth Argyle, bottom of the league, or lose three games in a row.”
“I thought we were always in it, the goals we conceded weren’t like us … second half we had a go, needed to make better decisions in and around their box. We’re third, we can still go up through the playoffs – it’s certainly not all doom and gloom from me.”
Burnley’s ministry of defence, CJ Egan-Riley and Maxime Esteve, are chatting to Sky. “We’ve had such a great chemistry and work ethic this season,” says Egan-Riley. “All credit to the gaffer, he’s given me this chance. The Premier League is the pinnacle, for this club we’re amazing.”
Esteve says: “CJ is a top player, we’re a top team, we’ve only lost twice this season. I’m very proud. This is a Premier League club.” Is he looking forward to facing Salah and Haaland? “I’ll play anyone – I can’t wait!”
