Burnley were held to a frustrating draw at home to Wolves last night – denting their Premier League survival hopes.

Jacob Bruun Larsen’s first-time strike was cancelled out by Rayan Ait-Nouri’s header as the two sides played out a 1-1 draw at Turf Moor.

It means the Clarets now sit six points adrift of safety ahead of Saturday’s must-win clash against relegation rivals Everton.

Here’s how Burnley’s players rated:

Broke the lines consistently with his excellent distribution. Also stopped a certain goal with a great save. A revelation since coming into the side. Makes such a big difference.

Plenty of effort and endeavour, but he lacked quality in the final third. He used his pace to good effect to make some important interceptions though.

2. Vitinho - 7/10

Involved in both goals, providing the pinpoint cross for Bruun Larsen’s opener before being pulled off for the harsh free-kick.

Beaten too easily for pace by Ait-Nouri in Wolves’ big chance at the start of the second-half, but otherwise pretty solid.
