Burnley failed to move into the Championship's promotion places after Saturday' s draw with Preston but they still managed to set a pretty ridiculous record.
The visitors were held to a goalless draw at Deepdale in a contest which was a dry run for next month's FA Cup fifth-round encounter between the two clubs.
But Scott Parker's side were able to rack up an incredible 11th consecutive clean sheet in the Championship this season against their Lancashire rivals.
The Clarets' shutout record is made all the more impressive by the fact they have faced a combined 106 shots in that time, equivalent to an xG tally of 9.2.
Goalkeeper James Trafford also now boasts the fewest goals conceded in a single campaign, eclipsing Liverpool's longstanding feat from 1978/19.
Whatever's in the water at Turf Moor is clearly working!
