ON a day that Leicester City honoured their late chairman, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, Burnley ended a run of three heavy defeats with a point and first clean sheet since September.

Billionaire businessman Srivaddhanaprabha was killed, along with four others, in a helicopter crash just outside Leicester’s King Power Stadium a fortnight ago, soon after the Foxes’ home game with West Ham United.

Burnley were the first opponents to face Leicester at home following the tragic accident.

And there were tributes to the 65-year-old in emotional scenes before kick-off.

Once the game got underway, Leicester dominated the opening 30 minutes or so, and but for Matt Lowton clearing off the line from Jamie Vardy, the woodwork thwarting a Rachid Ghezzal a header from and Joe Hart producing a good save to deny Demarai Gray the Clarets could have found themselves trailing for the fourth game in a row.

Burnley had their moments – notably in the 15 minutes before the break as they grew into the game – but Kasper Schmeichel saved their best chance from Johann Berg Gudmundsson’s free kick, while Ben Mee headed over from the resultant corner.

The Clarets started the second half brightly but lost Steven Defour 10 minutes in. The midfielder, who has recently returned from a knee injury, looked to strain his left knee in stopping Ben Chilwell on a breakaway down the left.

Leicester made an attacking change on the hour as Kelechi Iheanacho came on for Marc Albrighton to partner Vardy up front and push Ghezzal out wide.

And it had an instant impact for the home side as they quickly won four successive corners.

But Burnley defended well to give themselves a platform to go on and build attacks of their own.

Chris Wood went the closest following excellent link-up play between Jack Cork and substitute Robbie Brady down the left but the striker could not keep his hooked effort down.
