Burnley threw away a two-goal advantage for the
second Premier League home game in a row as
West Brom fought back to clinch a 2-2 draw.
Last time out at Turf Moor, Sean Dyche's side
went 2-0 up only to lose 3-2 to Crystal Palace,
and it was a similar story against Tony Pulis' men
on Sunday.
First-half headers from Ashley Barnes and Danny
Ings put the home side firmly in control, until Chris
Brunt reduced the arrears from a corner on the
stroke of half-time.
And it was another set-piece that proved Burnley's
downfall midway through the second period as
substitute Brown Ideye glanced home Brunt's
delivery.
For West Brom, captained by Darren Fletcher on
debut following a move from Manchester United, it
was a positive response to last week's 3-0 defeat
by Tottenham, though Pulis benched Saido
Berahino following comments in the week about his
future at the club.
The point takes Burnley back out of the bottom
three after Hull City had displaced them on
Saturday but with a tough run of fixtures to come,
Dyche will see this as a huge opportunity lost.
