The England international inspired as the Clarets claimed a vital point against West Ham United at the London Stadium.
He somehow clawed Issa Diop’s header off the line with the score locked at 1-1 and then stood tall to deny Michail Antonio in a one-v-one.
It could, however, have been so much different for the visitors, who squandered the opportunity to take a two-goal lead from the spot.
Maxwel Cornet dragged his spot kick wide of the upright in first half stoppage time when going down under the challenge of Lukasz Fabianski.
Wout Weghorst opened the scoring with his second goal for the club, heading home the rebound when under pressure from Tomas Soucek after Jay Rodriguez had headed a corner against the bar.
But the Czech midfielder made amends in the second half when getting on the end of Manuel Lanzini’s free kick to equalise.

Another rock-solid defensively display from the stand-in skipper. The centre back prevented a couple of breaks when getting up to win headers on the occasions the Hammers looked to go long and stood up to the physical threat of Antonio. His positioning also stalled a number of counters from the hosts, who broke at speed when the Clarets ceded possession cheaply high up the pitch. Photo: Steve Bardens
6. Dwight McNeil 7
Looked reinvigorated after a stint on the bench at Carrow Road. Travelled freely with the ball, interacting well with Lowton on the right hand side, and was often precise with his distribution. However, an awful mistake with a stray pass in the second half, almost proved costly as Soucek wasn't quite able to turn Lanzini's cross goalwards at the back post. Photo: David Rogers
7. Maxwel Cornet 5
A week to forget for the Ivorian, following his glaring miss away at Norwich City. Burnley's leading scorer supplied the corner for the opener, but then missed from the spot in first half stoppage time. And, to make matters worse, the forward then conceded the set-piece that led to the home side's equaliser. Photo: Ryan Pierse
8. Ashley Westwood N/A
Started really well, knitting play together while providing a calming influence in possession. The midfielder played more considered passes than the percentage balls he'd been ordered to pump forward in recent weeks. Suffered a serious injury midway through the first half and was stretchered off. Fingers crossed he makes a quick and full recovery. Photo: Ryan Pierse
