Comments:

League position: 9th Burnley were now unbeaten in four consecutive Premier League games for the first time since 2 December 2014 (won one). The Clarets' last three home games in the Premier League had now produced only two goals (one for, one against). They had now kept a clean sheet in three of their last 12 games in the Premier League. Burnley manager Sean Dyche said: “It’s a very pleasing point against a team who have made it very clear they want to come out have a go at the Premier League. They play with the freedom of coming into the league and they’ve only conceded three goals, I think, and only one from open play, so we knew we would have to try and break them down. They are defence-minded and look to counter and credit to them because they have had a good start to the season. You have to respect the opposition, so it’s another great point. There were a couple of fans not very pleased at the end and I don’t know why."

Comments:

League position: 8th Huddersfield Town had now have scored only one goal in their last five games in all competitions. Five of the Terriers' six games so far in the Premier League had now been goalless at half-time. Only Manchester City and Manchester United (the current top two) had now conceded fewer goals than Town's total of three so far in this Premier League season. Huddersfield Town manager David Wagner: “It was a deserved point in a tight and even game, both sides are very difficult to break down. Everybody worked hard and I’m pleased with the clean sheet of course, everybody feels responsibility for the defence in our team. Every player on the grass - defence, offence, midfielder - feels responsibility for the hard yards.”
