Clarets record equalled

Thierry Henry - scored the Arsenal goal
It was 1920/21 season when Burnley created the record, we had astonishingly lost the first three games of the season and it brought the League Championship title to Burnley for the first time.

We beat Arsenal at Turf Moor and then drew away during that season in the 28th and 29th games and a win against Manchester United took it to 30 before a defeat against Manchester City brought it to an end.

Arsenal have also reached the 30 with a game against Manchester United but they could not hang on to their 1-0 lead and had to settle for a 1-1 draw.

It probably comes as no surprise that the Arsenal goal was scored by Thierry Henry.

We must now wait another two weeks when Arsenal take on Liverpool at Highbury as they look to beat our wonderful record.

We will have more on that great Burnley team then.
