Blackpool 0-0 Burnley: Championship leaders held by strugglers in dour draw

Struggling Blackpool held runaway Championship leaders Burnley to a goalless draw in an uneventful Lancashire derby.

The Clarets came close to taking the lead before the break but Chris Maxwell made a fine save to deny Johann Berg Gudmundsson's well-hit shot.

Vincent Kompany's men enjoyed almost 80% of the possession against the Seasiders but could not find a way past the impressive Maxwell in the home goal.

A point for Mick McCarthy's side, who have won just one of their past 18 matches, does little for their bid to avoid relegation and they are now six points adrift of safety.
