DAVID Nugent scored his second goal in five days for Burnley but the Clarets remain in the Premier League relegation zone after their 1-1 draw at home to Stoke City.
The Potters took an interval lead courtesy of Tuncay Sanli's 23rd minute goal.
Rory Delap's long throw was flicked on by Mamady Sidibe to Tuncay, who headed in.
Burnley hit back and Chris Eagles delivered a cross to Martin Paterson at the back post in the 39th minute.
However, the Northern Ireland striker showed a lack of confidence and sent his effort weakly into the side-netting.
But Nugent salvaged a point for Burnley with his sixth goal for the club.
He headed home in the 52nd minute after Paterson turned Danny Collins inside out before delivering a superb cross from deep.
The Clarets came close to getting the winner in the closing moments of the game with Chris Eagles sending a shot over the bar and sub Kevin McDonald finding the wrong side of the post with his effort.
