Armando Broja struck deep into stoppage time to rescue a point for Burnley and halt their seven-match losing run, as the Clarets snatched a dramatic 1-1 draw away to Bournemouth.
Antoine Semenyo’s curling finish midway through the second half had appeared set to secure victory for the hosts in a largely subdued contest.
But Burnley refused to fold, and Broja’s late intervention denied Bournemouth a long-awaited win.
The draw extends Bournemouth’s own winless streak to eight games, leaving Andoni Iraola’s side 14th in the table.
For Burnley, the point was not enough to lift them from 19th, but it offered some much-needed relief for manager Scott Parker, whose team avoided matching the club’s longest-ever run of league defeats.
Bournemouth will rue missed chances, particularly from David Brooks, who failed to convert several clear openings.
Semenyo eventually broke the deadlock after capitalising on a slip from Josh Laurent, with his effort marking the first shot on target from either side.
The goal was the Ghana international’s eighth of the season, further underlining his growing influence and attracting interest ahead of the January transfer window.
Despite both teams arriving without a league win since late October, Bournemouth were the more assertive side throughout.
They controlled possession against a cautious Burnley outfit that struggled to mount sustained attacks.
However, after the drama of their recent draw at Manchester United, this encounter lacked spark for long spells.
Iraola’s biggest concern will be his side’s inability to press home their advantage against a defence that had conceded freely on the road.
Evanilson was largely peripheral before being withdrawn just after the hour, and while Semenyo delivered another moment of quality, Bournemouth appeared overly dependent on him to unlock stubborn opposition.
Under mounting pressure, Parker opted for a safety-first approach, with Burnley spending much of the match in a defensive shell.
Confidence was clearly fragile, and the Clarets rarely committed numbers forward for fear of being exposed.
Their lone first-half venture into attack ended with Josh Laurent flagged offside before Jaidon Anthony turned the ball in.
Burnley also rode their luck late on, with Marcos Senesi heading over when well placed for Bournemouth.
Yet Broja’s late equaliser could prove pivotal.
It not only ended a punishing losing run, but also offers Burnley renewed belief ahead of upcoming home fixtures against Everton and Newcastle, where they will hope this hard-earned point marks the start of a revival.
