Burnley U18s 2 Sheffield Wednesday U18s 2
The young Clarets earned themselves a point in the 98th minute, as they held league leaders Sheffield Wednesday to a 2-2 draw.
Tony Philliskirk took charge of his first game, since taking the role of U18 head coach last month.
And his side got off to a dream start, as Michael Fowler opened the scoring after eight minutes.
However Wednesday struck back with two goals, forcing the Clarets to fight back until the end.
And when Richard Taylor was fouled in the area in stoppage time, Burnley were awarded a penalty.
After a lengthy stoppage in play, as Taylor recieved treatment before going to hospital, after a nasty blow to the mouth in the collision.
