Jaidon Anthony sends message after Burnley thumping, Dominic Solanke reacts
Jaidon Anthony shared a positive message after playing a key role in Burnley’s dominant victory over Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship.
Burnley extended their unbeaten run with a convincing performance on 21 February witha 4-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday.
Anthony started the game and played a crucial part by providing two assists on the night.
Marcus Edwards broke the deadlock just before half-time to calm any nerves, before second-half goals from Josh Brownhill, Conor Roberts, and Manuel Benson sealed the win.
James Trafford, who has been linked with a move to Newcastle, continued his impressive form with yet another clean sheet—his 12th in a row—showcasing Burnley’s defensive solidity.
Anthony was one of the standout performers on the night, influencing the game with his creativity and work rate. After the victory, he expressed his delight with a celebratory post.

Jaidon Anthony finding consistency at Burnley after difficult Leeds spell
The winger shared his excitement after the match on Instagram, captioning his post: “Come vibe with us” alongside several photos from the game.
His post drew attention from fellow footballers and teammates, with Trafford, Dominic Solanke, Djed Spence, and Leeds United’s Willy Gnonto among those who liked it. Teammate Aaron Ramsey simply commented: “Mr Vibes.”
The 25-year-old has become a key player for Scott Parker’s side, making 31 appearances this season, scoring three goals, and providing five assists. He has started 30 of those matches, mainly operating from the left wing, where he has proven to be an important attacking asset.
Anthony’s time at Leeds last season was challenging, as he managed just two league starts during his loan spell. However, under Parker, he has rediscovered his form and is playing a vital role in Burnley’s promotion push.
Burnley must capitalise on momentum in promotion race
Burnley co-owner JJ Watt has a humorous bet with goalkeeper Trafford—if he keeps his clean sheet streak going, Watt has promised to return to American football. With another shutout against Sheffield Wednesday, that challenge remains alive.
Despite their emphatic victory, Burnley remain third in the table on 68 points, two points behind Sheffield United and four adrift of leaders Leeds.
With the top two set to face each other on Monday (24 February), their win was crucial in keeping up the pressure. Anthony’s attacking contributions could prove decisive in narrowing the gap and securing a return to the Premier League.
