Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

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.

Well that is a gutting result for Burnley, and that shows how far they have come in recent weeks. If not for Sa they could of had a couple of goals and picked up an important win that would have seen them keep chase with Nottingham Forest, who sit just outside the bottom three. Instead they are now six points behind 17th and with eight games remaining, the margin for error gets smaller and smaller. The Clarets took a deserved lead when Bruun Larsen fired O'Shea's cross into the bottom corner, but Ait-Nouri cancelled the strike out in first-half stoppage time when he nodded Sarabia's free-kick past Muric. The Algerian could have punished Burnley again in the second period, but he was met by Muric who thwarted the Algerian's shot and Burnley took control although Bruun Larsen and Vitinho were met by an inspired Sa. Lemina hit the post on a rare flurry forward late in the game, but it finished 1-1 which matched the xG of 0.98 to 0.98. Burnley are unbeaten in four now, but will need to turn draws into wins if they are to stay in the Premier League. Thanks for joining us, goodbye!

Semedo bursts into space but when he looks up he is the only one attacking and he just stops for a second then plays it back to Kilman. Wolves won't really mind that, they have been up against it in the final moments of the game.

Rodriguez has the ball in the back of the net after directing Odobert's shot onto the post then hitting the rebound in. The only problem is the Englishman is miles offside and he knew it.

21:34

OFF THE POST! Wolves haven't ventured into Burnley's half too much in the last five minutes but Ait-Nouri sends a lofting ball to Lemina and in almost slow motion the ball just clips the post and goes out.

It is bad news for Burnley! With Nottingham Forest beating Fulham 3-1 in the earlier kick-off they are currently six points adrift of Forest. A winning goal will be vital and send Burnley fans wild.

Anywhere will do for Wolve right now, Sa whacks the ball away but it comes straight back to them almost instantly. Can Burnley make this pressure can and get a vital win?

Vitinho does well to rescue Foster's sloppy pass to win a corner, although the corner doesn't match Vitinho's effort and Wolves clear with ease.

21:10

Esteve makes a crucial interception to deny Chiwome. The youngster was waiting behind the defender to collect the cross but Esteve slid in to get the ball away.

21:10

Bruun Larsen latches onto Muric's throughball and fires a shot that is stopped by Sa. The flag goes up but Burnley just switched the style of play up hitting a ball over the top.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

21:07

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.

21:05

BRUUN LARSEN IS DENIED! Burnley work the ball well and Vitinho cuts the ball back to Bruun Larsen who hits a good strike but Sa sticks out a leg to deny him.

Burnley decide to take a short corner and waste the chance to get the ball in the box. Wolves look to strike a counter-attack but Burnley do get back well to thwart the break.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

21:01

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.

Yellow Card Nélson Cabral Semedo

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

20:58

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.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

20:55

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!

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

20:53

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.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

20:53

We are back underway at Turf Moor, can anyone grab a winner in the second half?

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

20:43

It probably shouldn't have been a surprise that Burnley were picking the ball out of the net in the opening 45 minutes, they have conceded 29 first-half strikes in 31 games but it felt for large parts that they were in control. They haven't looked like a side struggling in the Premier League but they find themselves level but will need to continue to move the ball with the speed currently shown and just add a clinical touch in the final third if they are to continue their fine form. Wolves have ridden their luck for parts of this game, but with Cunha on the bench they have the quality that could change the fixture in their favour.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

20:40

Well it has been an exciting half, and a difficult one to call as well. Burnley have been playing with a new-found confidence and took the lead with Bruun Larsen's volley. The Clarets had deserved it up until that point with Vitinho testing Sa moments before the opener, but Wolves slowly built their way back into the game. Ait-Nouri has been the away sides brightest spark and stung Burnley late on in the half. He won the free-kick and then met Sarabia's cross with a cushioned header to beat Muric and level the game.

Ait-Nouri has been the biggets threat for Wolves so far and wins a free-kick for his side to have one last chance before the break.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

20:33

Cullen finds himself free on the edge of the box and pulls the trigger although it doesn't test Sa at all.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

20:33

Chiwome has had a difficult evening so far, but for only his second-ever game in the Premier League he has continued to be busy throughout the opening half. He has just come up against Esteve who has is having a fine game so far.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

20:29

Burnley are looking to get a second before the break. Foster walks into the box but can't find the space to shoot and it is cleared but Cullen is there to keep the pressure on. Wolves stay strong and keep Sa's goal protected.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

20:28

Chiwome has a chance to instantly respond. The youngster spins and shoots and it looks goal-bound but it clips his teammate Toti and goes out for a goal kick.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

20:24

Esteve is rescued by the referee's whistle. Wolves looked to have pinched the ball of the defender and Esteve fell to the ground and luckily for him, the whistle blew as Wolves looked to race away.

Goal Jacob Bruun Larsen

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

20:21

SA SAVES! Vitinho shows some great footwork and drives into the box where the Wolves players almost look a bit scared to touch him. He then shoots but Sa gobbles up the chance, which was a pretty easy stop for him.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

20:19

Gomes has had to get some treatment. It allows Kompany and O'Neil to give some instructions to their teams. Both managers should be pretty happy with this opening 35 minutes so far.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

20:19

Sarabia nearly found Chiwome rushing through on-goal but the Spaniard takes a loose touch and then plays a poor pass which allows Esteve to intercept. If his touch was tighter Burnley were in danger there.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

20:16

Muric has really had a huge impact on Burnley's recent form. The goalkeeper has been progressive with his passing, and at times a little bit risky but so far it is working out.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

20:13

WOW! WHAT A CHANCE! Doherty sneaks round the back post to send Sarabia's corner back across goal to Gomes but the Brazilian flicks his header wide. He has his head in his hands and you can't blame him.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

20:13

Bueno has two attempts to cross the ball but on both occasions can only find claret and blue shirts. They weren't bad balls, Burnley have just been really strong defensively so far in this half.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

20:09

Doherty tries to go on his own and probably wishes he didn't. He cut in and attempted to whip it but on his weaker foot, it went wide.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

20:08

Ait-Nouri is let down by his touch, he just tries to push the ball into space but a heavy touch allows Vitinho to come in and clear the ball.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

20:07

In terms of action on the pitch, there isn't too much to report on, but in the stands, a section of the crowd have had to be moved because of a leak in the roof. The fans who are moving aren't missing too much.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

20:04

Confidence is a magical thing. You would believe that Wolves are the team in the depths of a relegation scrap in the opening 17 minutes here. Burnley are playing it around so quickly and with intent as well.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

20:02

Wolves have their best spell of possession so far, and O'Shea gets a bit excited and drags Ait-Nouri back to relieve some pressure on the away side.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

19:59

A bit of last-ditch defending from Wolves here. Burnley found themselves in the box a couple of times but are just unable to either pull the trigger or find a teammate. In comes Toti who smashes it clear.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

19:59

Wolves have had some big hitters injured this season with Hwang Hee-Chan and Pedro Neto also missing. It means that this starting team has only scored 13 of the 42 league goals they have netted this season. Four of those have come defenders. Yikes!

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

19:56

Cullen has a great chance to get the ball into the box from a set piece, but it barely reaches the first man. It was a shocking free-kick.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

19:54

Sa is scurrying off his line again to deny Burnley a corner after Odobert's deflected shot was slowly bobbling out of play before the Portuguese slapped it out for a throw-in.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

19:53

Sa makes a fearless clearance there. He chucks himself at the ball as Burnley shirts rush towards him but he manages to get there and heads it clear.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

19:50

Fofana and Odobert link up beautifully and the winger finds himself galloping forward but his pass is just behind Bruun Larsen and it kills the attack. Good signs for Burnley at the back and in attack so far.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

19:49

Muric gets an early touch as he rushes out of his goal to collect Bueno's looping cross.

Turf Moor lets out a roar as Burnley gets us underway, can they continue to build on this unlikely push for Premier League safety?

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

19:44

Wolves have not enjoyed travelling to this part of Lancashire. They haven’t won at Turf Moor since 2010, and with Burnley in their best run of form, can Wolves overcome this difficult task? We will find out shortly as kick-off approaches.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

19:44

The big news for Wolves is not in the starting line-up but on the bench as Cunha makes his return after missing seven games out. It is a big absence when he isn’t playing so O’Neil will be hoping to see an instant impact from their superstar. Up top for Wolves is 18-year-old Chiwome who made his Premier League debut on the weekend against Aston Villa, and he must have impressed as he is rewarded with another start.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

19:39

Vincent Kompany has made two changes from that impressive draw away at Chelsea on the weekend. Fofana comes back up front after he was ineligible to play against his parent club, which is a huge boost as he is Burnley’s top goal scorer at Turf Moor. He only joined in January! Charlie Taylor replaces Lorenz Assignon who was sent off in the 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge. Muric continues in goal and looks to have become the number one, displacing James Trafford. The rest is the same as Kompany looks to build some consistency in his squad in the hope it can guide them closer to safety.

Wolves will be hoping their April has more joy in store than March. They only won once and also got knocked out of the FA Cup by Championship side Coventry. It has left them with little to fight for as the season reaches its climax but, a win is a win and Gary O’Neil will be desperate for one just to boost his squad's confidence.

Burnley vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

19:23

Sorry Burnley fans but it is fair to say that it hasn’t been a great return to the Premier League so far. That being said they have recently started to show people that they do have the quality to compete and haven’t lost in their last three games, drawing against Chelsea and West Ham and also winning against Brentford. Premier League survival looked unlikely before those three games, but now they are only four points from safety! Are Burnley starting to dream again?
