Records and streaks are there to be broken, and one of the most outstanding runs in the ongoing season has finally come to an end, as the Championship side Burnley have at last conceded a goal in England’s second tier after 12 consecutive clean sheets!The best defence in history of England? The answer may surprise youThe Clarets’ keeper, James Trafford – with immense help from the defensive line as well as the entire team – managed to remain unbeaten for two and a half months, 72 days, or 1,132 minutes if you wish (?!) before Cardiff’s striker Yousef Salech netted in the 42nd minute of the last night’s clash. Either way, Burnley still secured a vital triumph on the road, beating the Bluebirds in Wales 2-1.BURNLEY HAVE CONCEDED A LEAGUE GOAL??? pic.twitter.com/7VpH9DZOq7— ً (@sfcdan_) March 4, 2025 Before the aforementioned Dane, Trafford conceded in the Championship on December 21 against Watford when the German Kwadwo Baah netted ten minutes before the end in his team’s 2-1 defeat at Burnley’s Turf Moor. At the same time, the custodian made a bargain with the Clarets’ co-owner and an NFL icon, J.J. Watt, according to which the renowned defensive end would come out of retirement if Trafford managed to keep his net intact until the end of the season.Burnley have tonight conceded their first goal in the Championship since the 21st of December… 🤯 pic.twitter.com/uKhm56t2OK— Footy Accumulators (@FootyAccums) March 4, 2025 Even though he failed in his noble quest, former Man City child and England’s U-21 goalie made a fantastic achievement alongside his teammates, as the Clarets could become the best defence in the history of English football, as they conceded only ten goals in 35 Championship rounds so far and are fighting for the direct promotion to the Premier League.So, regardless of the “failure,” we have to say – Hatts off, Burnley! You have one hell of a defence.##NAJAVA_MECA_8754857##
