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.

5. Bashir Humphreys - 8/10
A really impressive showing on his first league appearance since February. Defensively strong throughout and dragged a shot wide at the other end. Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
6. Lucas Pires - 7/10
Laid on a big chance for Marcus Edwards with his deep cross to the back post. Had his hands full with Tyler Dibling, but did pretty well. Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
7. Josh Cullen - 7/10
Brought a calm head amid some frantic stuff around him, only to be forced off through injury shortly after half-time. Fingers crossed for good news. (Photo by Matt McNulty/Getty Images) Photo: Matt McNulty
8. Lesley Ugochukwu - 7/10
Brought a real physicality and aerial threat to Burnley’s midfield. Can’t seem to buy a free kick though! Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
