🧱 Burnley's iron-clad defence sets new Championship record
Another day, another clean sheet for Burnley.
A 2-0 win away at Swansea saw them move into second place in the table above Sheffield United, and are now just two points behind Leeds after the Yorkshire club drew 2-2 with QPR.
It wasn't just the three points that caught the eye from the Premier League chasing club though, as they recorded yet another clean sheet in a season that has seen their defence give so little away.
A remarkable 27 clean sheets in 38 matches from this special team 🧱

Will they secure promotion back to the top flight before the end of the campaign?
