Burnley boss Scott Parker has heaped praise on Hannibal after their win over Norwich City.

Burnley won 2-1 at home to the Canaries on Friday night to boost their promotion push. Hannibal got himself on the scoresheet along with Jaidon Anthony at Turf Moor.

The Clarets are now sat in 2nd place and are joint-top of the table with Leeds United with four fixtures left to play. They are five points above Sheffield United in 3rd.

Parker has said, as per a report by the Burnley Express: “I was really pleased. I mean, (Josh) Cullen’s ball is superb. But I’m pleased for Hannibal as well. He’s obviously not been around it for the last few weeks, but he’s an infectious boy. You look at Hannibal on a football field and exactly what you see, what your eyes see, is an infectious lad who’s passionate about what he does.

“We brought him back in tonight. One, because I thought his energy could give us what we needed and he ticked that box, certainly. Then he brings his quality in terms of his positioning, I thought he could be a threat for us in certain areas. I was pleased he scored the goal. I think overall he was superb and was a real driver for what we did.”
