A late Burnley equaliser against Bournemouth denied the hosts a piece of top-flight history, as their seven-game losing streak finally came to an end and a club record that had stood for more than 130 years remained intact.

Under mounting pressure, Scott Parker rang the changes in an effort to arrest Burnley’s alarming slide, but the opening exchanges suggested another long and uncomfortable afternoon lay ahead.

Bournemouth threatened early, with David Brooks firing a warning shot goalwards before coming even closer moments later, his curling effort drifting inches wide with Martin Dúbravka rooted to the spot. Burnley struggled to stem the flow for much of the first half and could consider reaching the half-hour mark without conceding as a minor success given their recent struggles.

Despite their territorial dominance, the Cherries were unable to replicate the attacking fluency they displayed in their impressive showing at Old Trafford earlier in the week. Antoine Semenyo attempted to spark life into the contest with a powerful effort from distance, but his shot flashed narrowly wide of the post.

Bournemouth thought they had been punished on the stroke of half-time when former Cherries winger Jaidon Anthony tapped into an empty net at the far post. However, celebrations were cut short after Josh Laurent was ruled offside in the build-up, sparing the hosts at the interval.

The pattern of the match remained largely unchanged after the restart, with Bournemouth controlling possession but continuing to lack a cutting edge. Semenyo again came close, darting across the six-yard box, though no red-and-black shirt arrived to apply the finishing touch.

That frustration appeared to fuel the forward moments later. Semenyo reacted quickest to Josh Laurent’s loose clearance and made no mistake, curling a superb effort into the far corner to finally break the deadlock.

Parker responded by rolling the dice late on, abandoning his back five in favour of a more adventurous back four. Initially, the change appeared to come too late, but Burnley rallied in the closing stages and began to apply sustained pressure.

Their persistence was rewarded in stoppage time when Marcus Edwards delivered a pinpoint cross to the far post, where Armando Broja rose to head home his first goal for the club and snatch a dramatic point.

The draw extends Bournemouth’s miserable run to eight matches without a win, with Andoni Iraola’s side showing little sign of an imminent turnaround.
