Burnley's victory at Cardiff hit season stats low

Burnley's victory at Cardiff City hit a stats low on Sunday.

The first half between Cardiff and Burnley saw just 280 passes attempted, with a 59% completion rate; both season-low figures for a first half in the Premier League.

Even former Bluebird Craig Bellamy admitted on Sky Sports that the first-half had been "painful to watch".

Burnley went on to win 2-1 as Johann Berg Gudmundsson and Sam Vokes both hit the back of the net with what were Burnley's only attempts on target.

Josh Murphy bagged the only goal for the Bluebirds.
