Burnley boss Scott Parker hailed his side's "rock solid" display as they extended their amazing unbeaten run with victory over Luton Town.
The Clarets boosted their goal tally with a 4-0 win after the visitors lost defender Kal Naismith, who was sent off with the game less than 20 minutes old.
They remain third but have a superior goal difference to Sheffield United, who are second and are just two points behind the Blades and leaders Leeds.
"Our performance was rock solid, showed our quality. Of course they got a man sent off pretty early in the game but sometimes that can prove pretty difficult (to play against)," Parker told BBC Radio Lancashire.
