Goalless Draw at Turf Moor Keeps Leeds at the Top
Burnley and Leeds United played out a goalless draw in a tightly contested Championship clash at Turf Moor, a result that leaves Leeds two points clear at the top of the table and Burnley just one point behind second-placed Sheffield United. The match, played in difficult weather conditions, was characterised by defensive solidity and a lack of clear-cut chances, with neither side able to break the deadlock.
Leeds, who extended their unbeaten run to 11 games, came closest to scoring in the 89th minute when Dan James forced a fine save from Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford. However, the visitors struggled to create meaningful opportunities against a well-organised Burnley defence, which registered its 20th clean sheet of the season. Burnley, meanwhile, failed to register a single shot on target, highlighting their reliance on defensive resilience rather than attacking flair.
Both managers acknowledged the cagey nature of the game. Burnley boss Scott Parker praised his team’s defensive efforts, describing the point as “a good result” against a “very good side.” Leeds manager Daniel Farke echoed similar sentiments, admitting the match “wasn’t the most entertaining” but emphasised the importance of securing a clean sheet and a point away from home.
The result leaves the Championship promotion race finely poised, with just five points separating the top four teams. Leeds remain in pole position, while Burnley’s unbeaten run now stands at 16 games. Both sides will look to build on this result in their next fixtures, with Leeds hosting Cardiff City and Burnley travelling to Portsmouth.
