Take two of the best attacking teams in the Championship. Two of the highest scoring sides in the division, with 127 goals between them.
The two sides who had fired the least blanks this season, just twice in Burnley's case and six times for Sunderland. Add in the fact that Sunderland had scored in each of their last 22 games in all competitions - a run stretching back to the first week of November - and that Burnley had not failed to score at Turf Moor in almost a year.
If you put your money on a goalless draw, you're a brave punter! And yet that was how it played out in Lancashire, although this was anything but a dull stalemate.
