Equaliser ... David Nugent celebrates his goal for Burnley (Getty)
David Nugent captured a 1-1 draw for relegation-threatened Burnley against Stoke on Wednesday (Thursday AEDT) to lift the club one place to 18th in the 20-club Premier League.
Turkish star Tuncay Sanli headed Stoke into a 23rd-minute lead at Turf Moor after one of Rory Delap's trademark long throws and Burnley appeared set for another defeat.
But Nugent equalised in the 52nd minute when he headed home Martin Paterson's cross to salvage a point for the club, which was promoted last season.
Although Burnley had hoped for a win to improve its survival chances, the point lifted the team above Hull on goal difference. Both are level on 24 points with Wolves and all three are five ahead of last-place Portsmouth.
