Scott Parker's Burnley side have conceded just six goals in a 28-game league unbeaten run [Rex Features]

Burnley boss Scott Parker said Derby County's direct style posed major problems and was delighted with the way his side coped to earn a point at Pride Park.

"It's a tough place to come. It's a team fighting for their lives," Parker told BBC Radio Lancashire.

"They cause you problems with the way they play; they put the ball in areas constantly and get you running back towards your own goal and I thought we coped with that really well.

"We started the game electric and really took a foothold for 35 minutes.

"At the back end of the first half they caused us problems from long throws and set-plays. We had to be resilient in those moments as it becomes a 50-50 game.

"But we defended exceptionally well and overall it's a point gained and another clean sheet."
