Sunderland delayed runaway Championship leaders Burnley's promotion charge as the Black Cats claimed a deserved point at Turf Moor. Tony Mowbray's men could easily have ended the Clarets' season-long unbeaten home run, too, with substitute Amad rattling the woodwork 20 minutes from time.
The Black Cats did have the ball in the net near the end through Jack Clarke, but his effort was correctly disallowed for offside. Nonetheless, Sunderland became only the third team to keep a clean sheet against Burnley in the league this season - and the first team to keep a clean sheet at Turf Moor in almost 12 months, with Manchester City the last team to achieve that a year ago on Sunday.
Burnley's best effort came from defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis in the first half, but Anthony Patterson kept his effort out. The point means Sunderland stay 11th in the table, at least until the rest of this weekend's games are played.
