A fit and firing Lewis Richardson made a welcome return to the goal trail as the Clarets continued their unbeaten start to the season.

The young striker had been forced to withdraw from England Under-17 duty through injury.

But a week on he was fit enough to help secure a point which could have been three but for a missed penalty from Rob Harker 20 minutes from the end at the DW Stadium.

A spurned spot-kick in injury time had also cost Burnley dear against league leaders Nottingham Forest in a dominant performance at Turf Moor last month.
