Dragons heap pressure on Burley

The 18-year-old Arsenal midfielder scored a brilliant solo goal and helped create the other two for David Edwards and Simon Church in a devastating first-half performance from the hosts.
Scotland boss Burley will face an inquest now with his team jeered off at the end and the Tartan Army demanding his exit.
Wales' kids have had a daunting few years, but they came of age in first half at Cardiff's new ground, with Ramsey's brilliance supplemented by fine displays from Joe Ledley and captain Ashley Williams.
The expected discontent from Cardiff fans at the appointment of Swansea's Williams - the 11th skipper in boss John Toshack's five-year reign - never came as Wales responded to a strong opening spell from the visitors with a dominant display.
The Arsenal teenager combined with Sam Ricketts on the right as the hosts grabbed a 17th minute lead.
Ricketts played Ramsey in behind Fox, and the pulled-back cross was volleyed in from 12 yards by Edwards.
Ramsey was really into full flow and after 32 minutes his cross-field ball found Joe Ledley, with the Cardiff man striking his cross to the near post for Church to turn past David Marshall.
Three minutes later Wales had their third - a stunning solo goal from Ramsey.
He went past Stephen McManus and Darren Fletcher in a superb run from midfield before driving a low effort beyond Marshall.
