Burnley's clean sheet record is officially ridiculous 🪨
Burnley failed to move into the Championship's promotion places after Saturday' s draw with Preston but they still managed to set a pretty ridiculous record.
The visitors were held to a goalless draw at Deepdale in a contest which was a dry run for next month's FA Cup fifth-round encounter between the two clubs.
But Scott Parker's side were able to rack up an incredible 11th consecutive clean sheet in the Championship this season against their Lancashire rivals.
The Clarets' shutout record is made all the more impressive by the fact they have faced a combined 106 shots in that time, equivalent to an xG tally of 9.2.
Burnley have now kept a clean sheet in a quite ridiculous 11 successive Championship games, despite opponents attempting 106 shots worth 9.2 xG.We look at the EFL records to see where Burnley's feats rank: https://t.co/uhHBUJPv7n pic.twitter.com/QKZFKza8bi

Goalkeeper James Trafford also now boasts the fewest goals conceded in a single campaign, eclipsing Liverpool's longstanding feat from 1978/19.

Crystal Palace must wait again for UEFA ruling on ownership ties to Lyon for Europa League entry
NYON, Switzerland (AP) — Crystal Palace's participation in the Europa League next season is still uncertain after UEFA on Monday delayed a ruling on the FA Cup winner's ownership links to French club Lyon through American businessman John Textor. Both clubs qualified for the Europa League on merit — the first time Palace has earned a spot in a European competition — but appear to have broken UEFA rules on multi-club ownership. UEFA has the power to remove teams that have the same owners or investors. Textor owns Lyon and held a 43% stake in Palace, which he has agreed to sell to New York Jets owner Woody Johnson . However, he appeared to have limited decision-making influence at the London club. A complex case for UEFA could be settled in Palace's favor if Lyon's forced relegation from Ligue 1 due its persistent financial turmoil is confirmed. Lyon, which placed sixth in the league this season, is set to have its appeal in that case heard within the next week. UEFA said Lyon previously 'agreed on an exclusion from the 2025-26 UEFA club competitions should the French authority (DNCG) confirm the club's relegation to Ligue 2.' Palace has never played in a European competition in the 70 years of UEFA organizing them but won the FA Cup final against Manchester City in May to earn direct entry into the Europa League. ___ AP soccer:
