Charlie Austin struck after 40 minutes to put the home side ahead.
Both sides had produced many attacking moves and the hosts very nearly scored early on in the game when Martin Paterson found himself with a one on one with Legzdins after only four minutes. The Rams keeper producing a fine save though.
Paterson proved to be the main threat for Burnley and Rams centre half Richard Keogh was instrumental in making sure that he was prevented from capitalising on the chances created.
Both Wallace and Ings saw chances go begging in the second half and both John Brayford and Mark O'Brien made vital challenges to prevent the home side from extending their lead.
The game and three points were sealed when a Wallace corner was met by Duff to make it 2-0.
Unfortunately that mention that yet again Derby left Burnley pointless.
