Burnley held to 0-0 draw by Derby County, drops from top spot

In a tightly contested match at Pride Park, Derby County held Burnley to a goalless draw, earning a crucial point in their fight against relegation. Despite Burnley’s impressive unbeaten streak of 28 games, they struggled to penetrate Derby's solid defense, with Jacob Zetterstrom making key saves, including one from Zian Flemming's powerful shot. The Rams, revitalized under manager John Eustace, demonstrated resilience, finishing the match with a series of threatening set-pieces and opportunities, particularly in the first half. Burnley's inability to capitalize on their possession and half-chances resulted in their 12th goalless draw of the season, costing them the top spot as Leeds took the lead in the Championship. Both teams failed to find the back of the net, reflecting a lack of quality in finishing on both sides. The match solidified Derby's position just above the relegation zone, highlighting the ongoing challenges for both teams.
