Burnley are virtually assured of European football next season for the first time in over 50 years after picking up a point in a 0-0 draw with Brighton. Burnley are virtually assured of European football next season for the first time in over 50 years after picking up a point in a 0-0 draw with Brighton. Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood both came close to sweeping in Ashley Westwood’s low ball, while Johann Berg Gudmundsson drove wide after a purposeful run. Players from both sides shoved opponents as they made their way towards the tunnel, where news of Crystal Palace’s lead at Leicester would have raised the hosts’ spirits. And neither side could conjure up a winner, although a point should be enough for them to achieve their respective goals of European qualification and safety.
