The result never looked in doubt from the moment skipper Josh Brownhill tapped home an easy opener inside four minutes, and then played a part in his side’s second midway through the first half, scored by Jaidon Anthony.
It secured the Clarets consecutive wins at Swansea for the first time in their league history while extended their unbeaten run in the current campaign to 25 matches – in a run stretching back to 2 November.
“Overall, it was a real solid professional performance,” said Parker.
“We started the game really well in terms of our intensity, breaking out of certain areas and then executing with two goals.
“There were tired legs out there coming out of a really busy schedule and we just managed the game extremely well. I just felt the game was constantly in our hands, and it always helps obviously with the two goals to make it feel like that.”
On moving into the top two, albeit maybe only temporarily, Parker added: “Winning again is the most crucial thing. Like I always say, I have no interest in what others are doing.
“We’re at the back end of this season now, it’s been a long gruelling hard one, and we just need to keep chalking off the wins.”
