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.

9. Marcus Edwards - 6/10
Poor in the first half on his first league start of the season, too often running down blind alleys. But came alive in the second and made things happen, setting up Bruun Larsen’s big chance. Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
10. Jacob Bruun Larsen - 6/10
Squandered one of Burnley’s two golden chances when he missed the target one-on-one. Got himself into good positions though. (Photo by Matt McNulty/Getty Images) Photo: Matt McNulty
11. Armando Broja - 6/10
Looked particularly hungry early on to impress against his former loan club, heading over from a tough angle. Kept going, but otherwise struggled for chances. Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
12. SUB: Florentino Luis - 6/10
For Cullen, 51 Almost punished when he was caught napping on the ball, but otherwise on the front foot and looked to get things going. Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
