Burnley v Derby County: Championship stats & head-to-head – BBC Sport

In a game short of any real attacking quality, Burnley looked the more likely to score in the first half without creating any clear-cut chances.

Their first sight of goal came in the 11th minute when Josh Brownhill curled an effort towards the far corner from just outside the area but Zetterstrom clambered across well to claw it behind.

There were some brief flashes of quality from the hosts, including when Jeremy Sarmiento pulled off a delightful turn before playing a one-two with Connor Roberts and firing just wide of the near post from inside the box.

Burnley also had a penalty appeal turned down in the 34th minute after the ball struck Rams defender Nat Phillips’ arm from Brownhill’s delivery with Josh Laurent waiting to pounce.

They almost broke the deadlock two minutes after the restart when Ebou Adams underhit a backpass but Flemming’s heavy touch allowed Zetterstrom to come out and smother.

Yates then came close to putting Derby in front after 56 minutes when he was played through by Kenzo Goudmijn but Trafford saved brilliantly before the Rams striker fired the rebound into the side-netting from a tight angle.

Burnley continued to probe but their only other chance of note in the second period fell to Koleosho as he raced in behind but Zetterstrom again saved well, rushing out to close him down.

Paul Warne’s side could have hit a smash-and-grab winner in the closing stages with Liam Thompson volleying a powerful strike just over from 25 yards in the 78th minute, and Marcus Harness firing narrowly wide from distance in stoppage time.

But it ended all square, meaning Burnley fall three points behind Leeds United at the top following their 3-1 win at home to Middlesbrough, while second-placed Sheffield United could move four points ahead if they beat Millwall on Wednesday.

The Clarets have now scored just seven goals in their past nine games and were held to their fifth 0-0 draw of the season by Derby, who remain 16th.
