West Bromwich Albion fight back from two goals down to earn a point from their Premier League match against fellow strugglers Burnley at Turf Moor.

West Bromwich Albion's winless away run in the Premier League stretched to seven games as they fought back from two goals down to salvage a point against Burnley this afternoon.

On a hazy afternoon in Lancashire, hosts Burnley were on the front foot straight away as Danny Ings sent a wild effort over the top inside two minutes.

Their early pressure continued and only a fingertip save from Ben Foster kept Scott Arfield's curling effort out as the ball came back off the underside of the crossbar.

The Clarets' dominance soon brought about a goal as West Brom conceded their 10th goal of the season inside the opening 15 minutes. Ings surged into the box and looped the ball to the back post where strike partner Ashley Barnes headed home.

West Brom boss Tony Pulis left top-scorer Saido Berahino on the bench, but the striker was soon introduced as Victor Anichebe trudged off with an apparent injury.

Berahino's introduction did little to stem the tide as Burnley doubled their lead in the 32nd minute. This time Ings was the scorer, heading George Boyd's cross in off the post.

Burnley were deservedly two goals to the good, but they could not hold that advantage into half time as Chris Brunt halved the deficit from Callum McManaman's corner in first-half stoppage time with a close-range header that bounced into the ground and in off the crossbar.

Chances were few and far between at the start of the second half before West Brom equalised from another corner, with Burnley conceding their 14th headed goal of the campaign.

Brunt turned provider with an inswinging delivery that the unmarked Brown Ideye headed home after Craig Dawson had blocked off Ideye's marker, David Jones.

The Baggies almost scored a third goal from a corner five minutes later when Joleon Lescott headed straight at goalkeeper Tom Heaton, but the former was then required at the other end.

Twice he kept Burnley out, first clearing Jason Shackell's looped header off the line before vitally blocking Jones's low drive.

Seven minutes from time, Burnley felt that they should have been awarded a penalty, but referee Mike Dean failed to spot that Gareth McAuley had blocked Ben Mee's cross with an outstretched left arm.

In the final stages, it was West Brom who went closest to a crucial fifth goal as Shackell hesitated in the box and Berahino saw his close-range effort somehow kept out by Heaton and Mee on the line.

A point helps Burnley move one clear of the drop zone, while West Brom stay 15th, two points better off.
