While both goals came within the first 20 minutes, the game was far from over. The second half saw a flurry of chances for both sides, with Forest, in particular, being denied multiple times in the final 15 minutes by a formidable Dubravka in the Burnley goal. Forest's attacking efforts were reflected in their slightly higher xG of 1.10 compared to Burnley's 0.74, but they couldn't find the winning goal.
Despite being winless in their last three league matches, Burnley will be satisfied with the point, especially after enduring a late surge of pressure from the visitors. For Forest, however, the draw extends their winless run to four games, raising concerns about their form. The statistics tell a story of resilience for Burnley, who have now gone 26 home league games without conceding more than once. Forest, meanwhile, showed their dominance in possession, averaging 63.3%, their highest in a Premier League match since their return to the top flight in 2022.
Jaidon Anthony was a standout performer for Burnley, with his goal and assist tally now at four for the season, putting him level with Ashley Barnes for the most goal involvements in a player's first five games of a Premier League campaign for the Clarets.
Looking ahead, Burnley will now host Cardiff in the Carabao Cup before a daunting trip to face Manchester City. Forest, meanwhile, will travel to Real Betis in the Europa League before a crucial home clash against Sunderland.
