Nathan Tella's hat-trick saw runaway Championship leaders Burnley crush Lancashire rivals Preston North End as they continued their seemingly relentless march towards promotion with a 10th consecutive league win.
Top scorer Tella headed in his 12th goal of the season to reward early home pressure and ensure Vincent Kompany's Clarets matched a club record of scoring in 27 league games in a row.
Tella's 13th goal of the season followed 10 minutes after the break, the midfielder showing quick feet on the edge of the box to make room and fire in his fourth goal in two games.
