The Clarets produced the classic little and large show to earn a priceless win in their bid to stay on the big stage.
Sean Dyche’s men were in danger of getting sucked nearer the Premier League’s relegation dogfight when they trailed in the manager’s 300th league game in charge of the Clarets to a goal from Burnley-born Harvey Barnes.
And even after a ninth goal of the season from top scorer Chris Wood had levelled the scores early in the second half, the Clarets were faced with the prospect of a worrying seventh home defeat of the campaign.
