So it was surely inevitable that both Duffy and Tarkowski would walk away from their league encounter, today, with clean sheets.
Brighton and Burnley played out a goalless draw but Chris Hughton's men were left ruing a missed Glenn Murray penalty that could have given them all three points.
Duffy edged Tarkowski in terms of sheer performance level but both players had seven headed clearances and two interceptions apiece. Duffy, though, did pick up his fifth yellow card of the season and will now be automatically suspended for the season. In getting a jump wrong, when trying to make another clearance, the Derry native deliberately handled the ball and was cautioned.

Duffy was not on responding to the suggestion he had something other than facing champions Chelsea in mind:

He misses the December 26 visit to Stamford Bridge but should return to the starting XI for the away date with Newcastle United four days later. He'll be needed, no doubt.Explore more on these topics:
