Sunderland were held to a 0-0 draw at Turf Moor despite an excellent performance.
James Trafford saved two late penalties from Wilson Isidor, while a stunning CJ Egan-Riley block prevented Eliezer Mayenda from scoring. Isidor had hit the post earlier in the half, with Anthony Patterson in strong form early on to deny Jaidon Anthony.
Here’s how we rated the Black Cats...
5. Dennis Cirkin
Struggled against Jaidon Anthony early on but got stronger as the game went on. Thought he’d won the penalty that would secure all three points but wasn’t to be. 6 Photo: Stu Forster
6. Dan Neil
Elegant performance in midfield. Lost it once or twice in dangerous areas but opened up so many dangerous breaks with his turns and passing. 7 | Getty Images
7. Jobe Bellingham
Did so well at times to come through crowded areas with the ball when he seemed to have no right too. Put in a huge shift in the middle of the park and got through a lot of important work for the team. 7 Photo: Getty Images
8. Chris Rigg
Battled really well and made a lot of important interventions around his own box. Didn’t see a lot of the ball in Burnley’s final third but did show some nice touches. 6 | Chris Rigg
