Burnley missed out on the chance to go top of the Championship but have goalkeeper James Trafford to thank for keeping them in second after he saved two late penalties from Wilson Isidor against Sunderland in a goalless draw.
If Isidor had scored from the spot, it would have sent the Black Cats above the Clarets and a point behind the leaders Leeds. Burnley’s promotion push is starting to feel like a grind, having scored once in their past four Championship matches as they aim to make life hard for themselves in search of a return to the Premier League, although their defensive record is now a very boastful nine conceded in 27 games.
