Burnley make English football history

On the evening of May 3, Burnley beat Millwall 3-1 in round 46 of the Championship, thereby ending the season with the highest number of clean sheets in the history of English professional football.

Burnley have been in impressive form in the Championship.

In the final match, Burnley hosted Millwall at home. A 3-1 victory was not enough to help "The Clarets" win the First Division championship. At the same time, Leeds also won 2-1 against Plympouth, thereby becoming the new champion. Leeds has the same 100 points as Burnley but is ranked higher thanks to a better goal difference (65 compared to 53).

Although they could not win the Championship, the Turf Moor team still made history as one of the two clubs with the most clean sheets in the top 4 highest leagues in England (Premier League, Championship, League One and League Two).

Specifically, Burnley have kept 30 clean sheets in the Championship this season, a record that is on par with Port Vale in the 1953/54 season. Next is Gillingham in the third division in the 1995/96 season with 29 clean sheets. In fourth place is Liverpool with 28 clean sheets in the 1978/79 season, followed by two clubs with 27 clean sheets, including Middlesbrough (1986/87) and Wigan (2017/18).

Burnley's impressive performance helped them return to the Premier League after just one season of relegation. Along with Burnley, Leeds also secured direct promotion. Meanwhile, Luton, Plymouth and Cardiff will be relegated to League One, the third tier of English professional football, in the 2025/26 season.
