Half-Time Report: Danny Ings brace gives Burnley the lead

Danny Ings's brace has given Burnley a 2-1 lead going into the break of their Premier League clash with Stoke City at the Britannia this afternoon.

Steve Sidwell's clever ball early on freed Victor Moses inside the Burnley half, but the winger's ball in to Bojan was overhit.

It was a quiet start but Ings livened proceedings up by scoring two goals in the space of two minutes.

First of all, he prodded home from Ashley Barnes's whipped ball into the area before adding a second by getting onto the end of Michael Kightly's cross.

It was a dramatic period in the game and Stoke struggled to contain Burnley as they looked to get back into the match.

They clawed a goal back through Jonathan Walters, who nodded a header past Tom Heaton after connecting with Bojan's cross.
