Swansea City made home advantage count on Saturday, 12 September 2026, seeing off Burnley 3-1 at the Swansea.com Stadium. The hosts were well on top by the break, two goals to the good at half-time, and had clearly done their homework on a Burnley side who never really got going in the first half. Whatever was said at the interval didn't change much either, as Swansea stayed in control for long stretches and looked the more composed side throughout. Burnley did pull one back and gave their travelling fans something to shout about, but it was too little against a Swansea team that had already done the damage. The win lifts spirits around the Swansea.com Stadium and offers real encouragement after a bright start to the Championship campaign. For Burnley, there's plenty to work on defensively, and this result will sting on the journey home.
