Burnley played Derby County in the Championship, Regular Season round 8, and the match ended 1:1 at Turf Moor on 19 September 2026. The result leaves Burnley in 23rd place with six points from eight games, while Derby sit 24th on four points after one win, one draw and six defeats.
Zeki Amdouni opened the scoring in the 34th minute, giving the hosts an advantage they carried into the second half. By then the game had settled into a pattern, with Burnley controlling possession at 52 per cent and Derby looking to counter with 108 attacks against 98.
Mohammed Fuseini rescued the visitors with a goal in the 90th minute plus three, and here's the thing — it came after Derby had been pushing for something. Shots on target told the story: Burnley managed two while Derby found the target six times, yet expected goals showed 0.49 against 1.12, suggesting chances went begging for the away side.
Substitutions came in pairs from the 61st minute onwards, with Marcus Edwards and Reo Hatate among the first to change for Burnley before Amdouni himself was replaced in the 73rd. Yellow cards accumulated on both sides: Igor Júlio, Anel Ahmedhodzic, D. Ozoh, Josh Laurent and Ugo Raghouber for the hosts, while Corey Blackett-Taylor also received a booking for Derby.
Derby created one big chance just as Burnley did, but shots accuracy tells a different tale — 43 per cent compared to 33 per cent — and it wasn't enough to break the deadlock. The visitors completed 309 passes to 429 from the hosts, with 21 crosses attempted against 12, yet only five found their man compared to two successful delivery attempts.
These results mean neither side has found consistency, and to be fair, the league table barely separates them. Burnley have not won since their opening day, while Derby picked up a solitary victory against Portsmouth on 1 September before three defeats in a row.
We had tipped Burnley to win with 81 per cent confidence, but the match went another way. Fuseini's late strike and Derby's higher shot accuracy proved decisive, and by then the result was already written in the numbers neither side could convert.
