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.

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

‘People think I have disappeared': Joe Morrell raring to go after 492 days out
'It's been like snakes and ladders,' says the midfielder Joe Morrell, detailing how a hellish 16 months has proved the most difficult duel of his career. An innocuous click in his left knee, a setback in the gym while on holiday in Miami and the onset of arthrofibrosis – a condition where scar tissue builds between joints – and suddenly 492 days have passed since his last appearance, for Portsmouth in a League One match at Oxford. He had just celebrated his 100th game for the club en route to the Championship. 'People are probably quite confused and think I have disappeared. Everyone forgets about you.' Advertisement Related: 'Everything came so quick': Jordon Ibe on Liverpool, trauma and starting afresh An unwanted glimpse into retirement and time on the football scrapheap have led to some dark days during Morrell's rehabilitation, which he has done predominantly at Portsmouth, where his contract expired last summer. He rewinds to this January and crying his eyes out 12 months after the initial injury, swallowed by the sense time was slipping away as another milestone in his recovery drifted from view. September had turned into January and then it dawned he would not return last season. 'I had that feeling of knowing I was going to burst into tears,' he says. 'I had a shower, got in the car, drove around the corner from the training ground and then I had to pull over. It was just a kind of release. I care about football so much … It has been unbelievably tough.' Advertisement He discusses the mixed emotions of watching former teammates, off the high of a win, bounce into training while he struggled to walk up stairs, and pining to experience even the worst elements of being a professional. 'I had quite a bad disciplinary record – that's a stick I've been beaten with – but I've joked to some of the lads this year: 'What I'd give now to be sent off, I'd snap your hand off.' 'Portsmouth lost 6-1 at Stoke and I'm watching it thinking: 'I'd love to be on that pitch now.' It probably shows you how low I've been,' he says, able to raise a smile. He laughs at the suggestion he could return with a Zen frame of mind – 'It would be pointless … I need to play on the edge' – because he aches for pressure, purpose and, in a perverse way, flak. Advertisement 'People tweet you to say you played rubbish; I kind of miss that in a sense. My phone isn't blowing up … two and a half years ago I was playing at the World Cup and I'd come in after a match and have 200 messages.' Morrell remembers the relief of not sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury when receiving his scan results after being forced off at Oxford. 'I was almost happy,' he says of a chondral defect diagnosis. 'A bit of cartilage had snapped off and was floating around my knee.' After an operation he was non‑weight‑bearing for a month but expected to return for pre‑season last June. Then he slipped while doing plyometrics in Florida and screws attached to his cartilage came out. 'If you had told me the next time I'll be on a pitch would be July 2025 … yeah, crazy.' Related: This is Football: The Beautiful Game – in pictures Advertisement In a parallel universe, Morrell would probably have been with Wales preparing for the visit on Fridaytomorrow of Liechtenstein to Cardiff in a World Cup qualifier – but his 38th cap is on hold. He bumped into the manager, Craig Bellamy, while doing some of his rehab with Sean Connelly, the head of medical at the Football Association of Wales. 'The best moments of my career have been in a Wales shirt and I'd love to have more of them,' he says. 'I know I have to sort a club first and everything else will take care of itself. I believe the best years are ahead of me.' At 28, Morrell – who will marry his long-term partner, Ellie, at the end of the month – is adamant he has six or seven years left in the game but made the most of his enforced sabbatical. A co-owner of fan‑owned Merthyr Town, who will play in the sixth tier next season, he attended their match at Havant & Waterlooville. 'I've tried to see it as an opportunity even though some days it is tough to get out of bed because you don't have that purpose and you come home, your knee is swollen, and you don't know where the finish line is … It has been incredibly tough, and also for the people around me. You try to be the same person you always have been, to be as insular as possible and keep emotions to yourself, but it is difficult.' He recently completed his Uefa A licence with the FAW, where he studied alongside Nani, Morgan Schneiderlin and Xherdan Shaqiri. Morrell faced Shaqiri in a Euro 2020 opener in Baku but jokes the Swiss did not remember him and thought he was a coach on the course. Coaching Portsmouth's under-14s has given Morrell a raison d'être. 'My Monday and Friday nights at the academy have kind of been my Saturday afternoons because you have to prepare, deliver. There's a lot that appeals about coaching and management; it's impossible for me to be the best player in the world – I'm small, slow, not physically strong and there's a level of God-given talent you have as a player – but as a coach that's not the case.' Advertisement He does a good line in self-deprecation but Morrell is an attractive free agent. He has had interest from the US, Far East and Middle East, as well as closer to home. Being sidelined has not stifled his love for the sport. 'I'm addicted to football,' he says, explaining how he watches Major League Soccer matches on Wyscout. 'It used to frustrate me when I would ask people: 'Did you watch the game?' And they'd say: 'Nah, I was playing Call of Duty.'' Now he recognises the bigger picture. Walking his cavapoo, Fred, has given him time to reflect. 'We get sucked into thinking football is the most important thing in the world because people care about it so much, which is great, but the reality is, it's not. This has hammered that home.' He hopes the end is in sight. 'There were certainly days where I didn't think I'd be able to get in a position to play again, moments where I've had conversations with people around me: 'We might have to go down another route. Is this going to be the end of me playing?' 'People will see I have not played for a long time and, understandably, there will be question marks. The truth is I'm fit and ready to go. I feel like I can be a better player than I was before, as well as a better person. I don't think I'll feel like a footballer again until that whistle goes in the first game of the season in August and it's certainly not something I'll take for granted.'

Leicester's Kasey McAteer: ‘We know why the fans are angry. We need to fight for them'
Kasey McAteer is just 23 years old and has only been established in Leicester City's first-team squad for two seasons, but he says he is starting to feel like a veteran amongst the club's fledglings. Relegation to the Championship means many of Leicester's senior players are expected to be moved on this summer, and the financial impact and possible sanctions arising from the club's alleged breach of profit and sustainability rules (PRS) could force them to turn to youth next season, especially if the EFL imposes any transfer or budgetary restrictions on them. Advertisement Young wingers Jeremy Monga, who turns 16 in July, and Jake Evans, 17 this week, have already been introduced to the senior squad and, according to manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, and are close to committing their futures to Leicester by signing new contracts, while fellow wide player Will Alves, 20, and defender Ben Nelson, 21, are also expected to be involved after successful loan spells in the Championship last season. McAteer, currently with the Republic of Ireland's senior squad for friendlies at home against Senegal on Friday and away to Luxembourg four days later, could have a prominent role too. 'There's Jeremy, (midfielder) Louis Page, Jake, and they're 15, 16 and 17 — all really young. It's crazy to think,' says winger McAteer. 'Obviously, there's Will Alves coming back, and Ben Nelson. There's a lot of young players in there and players that want to play for this football club. 'If that is the way the manager's going, that's great, and hopefully we can stamp our authority on that and have a real input on next season.' A Leicester squad for 2025-26 featuring several young, homegrown players may help get a disgruntled fanbase back onside. When the crowd voiced their discontent at members of Van Nistelrooy's team as they succumbed meekly to relegation from the Premier League over recent months, chanting on occasions 'You're not fit to wear the shirt', that may not have necessarily been directed at a player such as McAteer, who has been at the club since the age of eight, or the other younger members of the group, but it still had an impact. However, the academy graduate born a short drive away in Northampton tells The Athletic he doesn't blame his fellow Leicester supporters for venting their frustration as their post-Championship-title-winning season back in the big time turned into one of the worst in the club's history. Their final points total of 25 was Leicester's lowest of the three-points-for-a-win era, dating back to the early 1980s, and the resulting disconnect between the club and a section of the fanbase is going to be tough to bridge. Advertisement McAteer says that, next season, he and whoever else is still at the club will attempt to win them over. 'I can understand people that are passionate about this football club being annoyed at how things have gone,' says McAteer, who talked to The Athletic before Leicester rounded off their season with another defeat, away to Bournemouth. 'They pay their hard-earned money and come and support us and watch it, so they have a right to voice their opinion, and we accept that. 'They want to see a team that's out there fighting; I remember Leicester City teams that, in the past, haven't been as gifted as other teams, but there's no doubt they would run through a brick wall for each other and they'd fight for 95 minutes, or whatever it would be. That is what we need to get back and I think the fans will then start to appreciate what we are trying to do — to get straight back into the Premier League. 'It has been tough. It has been, at times, very, very draining getting beaten every week and not scoring any goals. I can imagine it has been tough for the fans as well, but we can only look forward now.' Thing is, planning ahead is difficult when there is still so much uncertainty surrounding Van Nistelrooy's future and the prospect of a PSR punishment and points deduction next season. The Premier League has charged the club on three counts for allegedly breaching its PSR regulations for that promotion-winning 2023-24 campaign, and McAteer admits all the ongoing doubt doesn't help. 'I think every football club's success is built on foundations of stability, as we've seen in the past with this club, but obviously, that's for people higher above to deal with,' he says. 'That's not for us as players to decide. Whatever happens in the future is down to the club and, as players, we have to buy into what the manager will want from us. That's all I can say on that. Advertisement 'Hopefully, it (the PSR punishment) will not be as bad as people may think, but that's not for us to worry about. We have to focus on football.' Van Nistelrooy forged his coaching reputation at PSV in his native Netherlands through developing youth and McAteer says that despite Leicester's terrible results — in 2025, they lost 14 out of their 19 league games, winning just three, failed to score in eight consecutive matches between February and April and suffered eight consecutive defeats on home soil without a single goal in those fixtures — working under the former Manchester United and Real Madrid striker was a positive experience. 'I think he's been good,' he says. 'Obviously, it hasn't looked great with results going against us and not scoring goals, but he never gave up on us and has been working tirelessly behind the scenes with meetings, and trying to give us all the information we need to get the three points. 'It's not as if we stopped trying, and we all know that as players as well, and we all respect that and appreciate that our manager's still trying to get us three points week in, week out, even though it's not gone our way.' There has already been one significant change at Leicester ahead of next season. There is an eerie peace around the training ground as McAteer chats to The Athletic in the indoor dome at their Seagrave training ground. After 13 seasons in Leicester colours, talismanic striker Jamie Vardy has gone, with his contract expiring this summer, and McAteer admits that not having the 38-year-old former England international's boisterous personality around the place is going to take a lot of getting used to. 'I think it will leave a huge hole,' he says. 'There's no one quite like Vards. He is very special in his own way. I think it'll be a bit quieter with him not being in the dressing room, that's for sure. It already is. Normally, it's quiet in a room and you'll just hear him come in, and as soon as he comes in, there's a big noise. He will be missed.' Vardy's departure will leave a leadership void within the squad but that's also an opportunity for the next generation to step up and take more responsibility — a challenge McAteer sounds ready to embrace. 'This club means a lot to me,' he says. 'I have spent 15 years of my life here. It's been great, being a fan myself and going to games at the King Power Stadium, seeing the (2015-16) title win, going to the (2020-21) FA Cup final, and seeing how the club has grown over the years. Hopefully, in the future, we can bring more success to this football club. 'I have always been hungry to play an influential role but even more now after this season, because I know what needs to be done. Given the opportunity, I will give my all to help the club get back to the Premier League.'

Trans pitcher hits 2 doubles, throws another complete game to send team to Minnesota state championship
After a dramatic, walk-off win in Wednesday's semifinal, the Champlin Park Rebels are headed to the Minnesota High School Girls' Softball State Championship — and so is their transgender pitcher Marissa Rothenberger. After giving up two early runs in a shaky start, Rothenberger settled in and pitched a complete game to help No. 2-seeded Champlin Park edge past No. 6 White Bear Lake, 3-2, in the Class AAAA state semifinals. Rothenberger gave up seven hits and two runs (one earned) and struck out three in the effort. But it was Rothenberger's hitting that really sparked the comeback. The junior led off the fifth inning with a double that began Champlin Park's rally to tie the game at 2 apiece. Then, in the bottom of the seventh, Rothenberger — who went 2-for-3 at the plate — opened the inning with another double. Rothenberger was replaced by a "courtesy runner," who eventually scored the game-winning run on a two-out, walk-off hit from junior outfielder Ava Parent. Champlin Park will face No. 4-seeded Bloomington Jefferson in the championship game on Friday at the University of Minnesota's Jane Sage Cowles Stadium. Jefferson upset top-seeded Forest Lake earlier Wednesday. But while Champlin Park celebrated its walk-off win, the scene in the White Bear Lake dugout was far different. Many of the girls were visibly emotional, some in tears, as the reality of the season-ending loss set in. One player turned to her father and asked, "Why can't you do something?" No parents were willing to go on record, but OutKick spoke with two White Bear Lake dads in the stands who expressed deep frustration with the system that allowed their daughters to compete against a male athlete — namely, the Democrat politicians who prioritize ideology over fairness. "You're looking at a whole team of future Republicans," one man said. Another dad agreed, saying this might be an eye-opening experience for the parents: "They're like, "Oh, they're crushing my kid's dreams? Maybe I made the wrong choices." Despite President Donald Trump's executive order, the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) allows student-athletes to compete in events consistent with their gender identity, regardless of biological sex. MSHSL said that the eligibility of transgender student-athletes is "determined by state law, through the Minnesota Human Rights Act and the Minnesota Constitution." Despite national governing bodies — like USA Softball and the NCAA — instituting female-only eligibility policies, such state-level laws create enforcement loopholes that leave parents and female athletes feeling helpless. And today in North Mankato, Minn., that helplessness was written all over the faces of the White Bear Lake players. As one girl walked off the field, her father met her behind the dugout. "That's not fair," she said. "That's Minnesota," he replied. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
