Charlie Austin's deflected strike gives Burnley a 1-0 lead at half time against Derby County.

A deflected Charlie Austin strike has given Burnley the lead at half time against Derby County.

The first chance inside the opening few minutes fell to Martin Paterson, but Adam Legzdins was able to comfortably save.

Both sides were passing well but there was a real lack of genuine chances being created.

Paul Coutts tried his luck from all of 30 yards after half an hour, but a deflection took his well-struck effort over the bar.

It was Charlie Austin again who got the breakthrough for the hosts, his shot deflected past the wrong-footed Legzdins.
