Republic of Ireland striker Michael Obafemi scored his first goal for Burnley last night since moving from Swansea on loan in January.
The Irishman popped up in the fifth minute of injury time to bundle the ball home from close range and snatch a draw for the hosts at Turf Moor.
Obafemi finally made the move to Burnley last month after three goals in 19 appearances for Swansea. The 22-year-old, who was the subject of a number of bids from Burnley on deadline day in August 2022, has joined The Clarets on loan with the club having the option to make the move permanent at the end of the season.

It was a slice of history for the youngster, as his goal ensured Burnley scored in a 28th consecutive league game, breaking a 96-year-old club record.
"It's a good point. I didn't necessarily plan for the drama but it definitely shows that this team has the right energy and attitude about it and we are pleased for Michael Obafemi for his first goal for us," said Burnley boss Vincent Kompany, "The group found a way again.
"Whenever we score late goals, we've been on top so in my opinion, it's not luck - it's just the timing and the fact it's in the last minute, not minute 75. But I think the pressure we put on opponents reflects the nature of the game - and [the late goals] does add some drama.
"If you told me at the start of the season this was how we'd be playing against Watford at home, I would have signed for it straight away.
"If we strip away possession and everything else in the game, we still had loads more chances, we just weren't economical with them. Today was the type of game you can lose against that type of competitor so that is a very good point."
The draw leaves Burnley eight points clear at the top, and 18 points ahead of Middlesbrough in third as Vincent Kompany's side look to set to secure an immediate return to the Premier League in the coming weeks.
