This was one of the worst Premier League games of the season, with both Sunderland and Burnley too afraid of losing to try to win the match. Chances came for either side to take what would have been an entirely undeserved victory, but the game had 0-0 written all over it from early in the first half.
Relegation appears to be a certainty for Sunderland, while the Clarets are going to play negative, ultra-cautious football until their own survival is assured.
Positives
Burnley have struggled to keep clean sheets all season so another one is always welcome, with the caveat being that it came against easily the worst team in the league.
