Burnley winger Jaidon Anthony secured what might prove to be one of Scott Parker’s most crucial wins as Clarets boss.

Jaidon Anthony notched both goals in Burnley’s 2-1 comeback win against Coventry City on Saturday afternoon, and his clarets teammates as well as club investor J.J. Watt have been piling on the praise.

The Clarets went a goal down after just five minutes through a controversial Haji Wright effort from close range, which Burnley manager Scott Parker firmly believed should have been ruled out for offside.

But it proved nothing more than academic in the end, with Anthony finishing a chance put on a plate for him by Lyle Foster eight minutes later, before sealing the winner just on the other side of half-time after a Coventry mix-up at the back.

The 25-year-old took to Instagram following his starring role in a vital three points for Parker’s side…

The wideman posted a collection of action and celebration shots following the win, captioning the post: “Vibes can’t dun😤‼️”

That energy was matched by fellow Turf Moor star Josh Laurent, who commented: “Vibes my man 🤝🏽”, and Burnley’s official Instagram account, which added: “Immaculate vibes.”

“Weather Man😤🌧️”, was the response from fellow loanee winger Marcus Edwards, who operated on the opposite flank to Anthony at the CBS Arena on Saturday.

There was also a simple “⚽️⚽️” left by former NFL star J.J. Watt, who holds a minority stake in the Clarets.

Congratulations were also left by teammates Jaydon Banel, Nathan Redmond, CJ Egan-Riley and Aaron Ramsey, among others.

Bolton Wanderers legend among those to celebrate with Anthony

Former Bolton Wanderers midfielder Fabrice Muamba joined in with the praise, replying: “Vibes can never be done.”

Muamba’s connection comes courtesy of a Burnley academy coaching role he took up last year, as he works on the next steps of his post-playing career.

“Proper 🔥🔥” came in from Juventus centre-back Lloyd Kelly, currently on loan from Newcastle United but previously of AFC Bournemouth, Anthony’s parent club.

Another former Bournemouth alumni, Jordan Zemura, who is now with Italian side Udinese, said: “CEO of the vibes committee.”

It’s little wonder so much praise came in for the winger, given what the three points he secured could mean for the success of Burnley’s season.

The race at the top of the Championship is tight between Burnley, Sheffield United and Leeds United, with only two points separating the trio, and only two automatic places to claim. Every point counts.

But that was even more true on this occasion, as whilst Anthony was single-handedly rescuing the game for Burnley in the 12:30 BST kick-off, Leeds were making a tough time of it down at Kenilworth Road, drawing with second-tier strugglers Luton Town in the end.

A good day at the office come the final whistle for Anthony, then? Yes, but it got even better a couple of hours later.

The Blades travelled to Oxford United for the 15:00 BST outing, another game that should have been won by a promotion rival, but they were beaten by a single goal from Siriki Dembele on the day.

Those results meant Burnley took top spot at the end of the weekend, having begun it bottom of the three. If Burnley go on to earn automatic promotion to the Premier League, they may well look back at this weekend as the pivotal one, orchestrated by Anthony.
