Bottom club Sunderland were held to a goalless draw at home to Burnley, whose wait for a first away win in the Premier League this season continues.
Burnley should have gone ahead through Ashley Barnes, who prodded wide from six yards out just before the break following Scott Arfield's defence-splitting flick.
After half-time, Sunderland improved hugely, and Tom Heaton made a fine stop at his far post to deny Adnan Januzaj's volley, before Billy Jones somehow headed a glorious chance wide from four yards out.
David Moyes' side are now without a win from their past six home matches, and are seven points from safety with 10 matches to play.
