Burnley: Fulham collected another point in their bid to climb to safety in the Premier League by drawing 1-1 at fellow strugglers Burnley on Wednesday (Thursday AEDT).
Looking to back up their win at Everton on Sunday, Fulham took the lead again on the road when Ola Aina glanced the ball home unwittingly with his chest at a corner after a flick-on by teammate Joachim Andersen in the 49th minute at Turf Moor.

Burnley equalised three minutes later as Jay Rodriguez turned his marker near the touchline and curled in a cross to strike partner Ashley Barnes, who took a touch and shot left-footed low past Alphonse Areola.
Fulham, who are in third-to-last place and occupying the final relegation spot, trimmed the gap to nearest rivals Newcastle to six points and have now played the same number of games.
