A PENALTY in the first minute of stoppage time forced Burnley to settle for a point from high flying Stoke City.

Kyle Lafferty put the Clarets in front in the third minute with his first goal in three months.

Ade Akinbiyi missed a good chance to double their lead five minutes later.

Although Stoke City had some good spells of possession they lacked an end product, and Gabor Kiraly was never overly tested.

Andrew Cole brought a good save from Carlo Nash in the last minute of normal time following his 83rd minute introduction.

And within moments Stoke were back on level terms after Jon Harley felled Jon Parkin in the area.

Kiraly dived the right way, but Liam Lawrence tucked it into the bottom right corner.
