Parker defends 'boring' Burnley performance

Burnley boss Scott Parker says his side's defensive strength is "remarkable" amid claims they lack entertainment value.

The criticism has been heightened after the Clarets' highly-anticipated match against fellow title-chasers Leeds United ended in a goalless draw with the second lowest XG of the season.

Burnley have scored the least amount goals of any team in the top six with 36, while league leaders Leeds have the most with 55.

The Clarets have by far the best defensive record across the entire top four divisions, conceding just nine goals in 29 matches.

"It was only a week ago we scored five goals against Plymouth. We didn't score against Leeds and quickly the narrative swings that we're a really boring team," Parker told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"But that was the game, it wasn't a classic.

"What we did manage to do was incredible on the defensive side of things but what we didn't manage to execute was us trying to be a bit of a threat, but we keep working on that."
