Scott Parker’s men were the better side and created the better chances, but were unable to find that all-important breakthrough.
While they recorded a rare clean sheet, only their third of the season, they were let down by their lack of quality in the final third.
The game’s big chances fell their way. Firstly to Jacob Bruun Larsen, who failed to hit the target after being played through one-on-one with Jordan Pickford. And then in the last minute of normal time, Zian Flemming’s low shot rebounded off the foot of the post after again being played through on goal.

2. Kyle Walker - 7/10
A lot more advanced in his wing-back role and always looked to get in behind. Just overhit his pullback to Bruun Larsen. (Photo by Matt McNulty/Getty Images) Photo: Matt McNulty
3. Josh Laurent - 7/10
Gave absolutely everything for the shirt and defended resolutely. Needs to be a split-second quicker playing out from the back. Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
4. Hjalmer Ekdal - 7/10
Defended well, helping Burnley keep a rare clean sheet. But needs to be a bit more dominant in his aerial duels. Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
