00:00Well, where to even start with that game. Burnley have just drawn another game, 0-0.
00:07Eighth goalless draw of the season, but this one was a game like no other. So much drama, especially later on.
00:13Yeah, it's all about James Trafford. Two penalty saves. One in the 86th minute and the second in the 97th, I think, 98th.
00:24Again for the same man from Wilson, Nilsadur. First penalty wasn't a penalty, it was outside the box, shouldn't have been given.
00:29But Trafford made up for it, justice with that save. And the second one, some say it was soft, I thought it was a little rash from Oliver Son on his home debut.
00:39Went to ground, dived in, lunged in, gave the referee a decision to make. But again, Trafford came to Burnley's rescue.
00:48Yeah, it's another 0-0 draw. It's not the win they wanted to go top, but they're now level on points with Leeds.
00:55And yeah, this could be a potentially, you know, absolutely crucial point in the end of the season, who knows.
01:01There's Burnley's side again, just refused to concede goals. That's 17 clean sheets now in 27. No, sorry, 18 clean sheets in 27.
01:10And just refused to lose, that's 15 unbeaten in the League Cup. Still only lost two games all season. That's going to go a long, long way.
01:20They're not lost. Carrizio won, had chances in the first half, Jadon Antony had good chances, Ian Fleming.
01:26But yeah, it's a 0-0 draw, another one. And we'll see come May how important this one is.
