Albion's painful wait for a home goal reached six-and-a-half hours as Burnley held the hosts to yet another Hawthorns stalemate.

A third goalless draw in four games on their home patch for Carlos Corberan's side extended a measly record, the joint-worst in the top four divisions, to just two goals scored in seven home fixtures this season.

The run without a victory in the Championship is now eight matches after a sixth draw in a row - and Burnley and their boss Scott Parker were seething after a second-half header by Jaidon Anthony was ruled out by referee Tom Nield for what appeared a soft foul. 

The out-of-form Clarets also struck a post. Albion supporters must be wondering where their value for money is at The Hawthorns with just three goals in seven games this season - two for and one against.

Boss Corberan will not take much pleasure from six games unbeaten as his shot-shy, blunt side simply cannot find a breakthrough at the moment with attacks too ponderous and decision-making badly lacking. Some boos greeted the half-time and full-time whistle.

John Swift - one of three Albion changes along with Jayson Molumby and Tom Fellows - volleyed a decent opening well over the top after just four minutes from Darnell Furlong's deep cross.

Alex Palmer reacted well to a dangerous cross at the other end to save from close-quarters before Torbjorn Heggem saw out Zian Flemming.
