Goalkeeper James Trafford has been pivotal in this run, keeping a clean sheet since December 21st.Bashir Humphreys, on loan from Chelsea, opened the scoring for Burnley within three minutes, controlling Lyle Foster's pass and firing a shot past Hull goalkeeper Ivor Pandur. Zian Flemming doubled their lead in the 21st minute, heading in a cross from Jaidon Anthony. Anthony was a constant threat throughout the game, causing Hull's defense problems with his pace and dribbling skills. He created several scoring opportunities for Burnley, including the one that led to Flemming's goal.Hull struggled to find any rhythm in their attack and rarely threatened Trafford's goal. Their closest chance came from a header by Kyle Joseph, which went wide of the target. Despite a more determined effort after the break, Hull couldn't break through Burnley's resolute defense.
