Clarets hit back again as Ashley Barnes’ equaliser secures important point
|
The Clarets maintained an eight-point gap above the Premier League’s bottom three as they again came from behind to earn a precious reward. For the third time in four top-flight games at Turf Moor, Burnley wiped out a deficit as they extended their unbeaten league run to three matches. Ashley Barnes’ swift response to the visitors’ opening goal four minutes into the second half was enough to deny draw specialists Fulham a fourth win of the season as they remain adrift in the relegation places. And it was enough for Sean Dyche’s men to move back up a place to 15th in the table as they continue to close in on safety. As well as the absence of Ben Mee as a result of the concussion he sustained in Saturday’s win at Crystal Palace, the Clarets’ back four was also missing the injured Erik Pieters. That meant starts for Charlie Taylor and Kevin Long as Burnley looked to extend an unbeaten home record against Fulham stretching back 50 years and 30 games.

Will this be the last time we see Brady? Poor old Joey, injured again after having quite a good spell recently.
Big Sam's mob up next but the bigger worry is the referee he is back after his self imposed exile I give you Mr Mike Dean, god help us.
They are fighting for their Premier League lives so I was expecting a bit of a battle and I quite fancy them to survive. hopefully not at our expense.
I'm happy with a point, better than losing to them.
As for Mike Dean; hasn't he been a bit of a 'lucky charm' for us ever since and including the play-off final?
And anyway, It extends our unbeaten home run against them.
It is now 31 matches stretching back to 1951.
22 league wins & 6 draws.
2 FA Cup wins
1 League Cup win.
