Follow all the action from Turf Moor
Burnley’s hopes of Premier League survival were dealt another blow despite a brilliant strike by Jacob Bruun Larsen as Wolverhampton Wanderers fought back from a goal down to draw 1-1 at Turf Moor on Tuesday.
Nottingham Forest’s 3-1 over Fulham earlier in the evening means that they are in 17th place on 25 points, three ahead of Luton Town in 18th spot and six ahead of second-from-bottom Burnley, while Wolves are 10th on 42 points.
Burnley went ahead in the 37th minute through Bruun Larsen, who met a deep cross on the right from Dara O’Shea with a stunning volley with his instep that flew past the helpless Jose Sa in the Wolves goal.
However, Wolves levelled in first-half stoppage time as Rayan Ait-Nouri was left completely unmarked in the box to send a powerful downward header from Pablo Sarabia’s free kick bouncing into the net to secure a point.

SA SAVES AGAIN! Sa has been called into action twice in quick succession now, and Odobert almost catches him by surprise firing the ball towards the Portuguese who just instinctively swipes the ball away.

A HUGE SAVE FROM MURIC! Ait-Nouri gets himself one-on-one and the Wolves goalscorer is met by Muric who has made himself big to deny him. He should have doubled his tally and put Wolves ahead.

It is going to be difficult to call this game! In the 12 games Burnley have taken the lead this season, they have drawn four, lost four and won four. At least they are somewhat consistent.

The Burnley fans are furious. Gomes goes down and Burnley want to carry on but it look as if the Wolves players just stop playing and the referee blows to see if Gomes is okay. Surprisingly... he is okay!

Taylor was in two minds to launch a long throw-in into the box or play it short. He opts for the latter and Burnley set up just inside Wolves' half.
