Premier League survival remains a long shot but a Burnley team seemingly destined for an immediate return to the Championship have hope. The disappointment in taking merely a point off Wolves underlined the form and belief that is growing among Vincent Kompany and his players.
Burnley are six points from safety with seven games left but with their unbeaten run extended to four matches, a visit to Everton to come on Saturday and the prospect of Sean Dyche’s team being deducted more points, there is no reason to accept relegation yet. More importantly, there was no sign of resignation at Turf Moor either. Kompany’s side played with a positivity and purpose that stretched Wolves all night. Three fine second-half saves from the visiting goalkeeper, José Sá, plus a contentious equaliser on the stroke of half-time from Rayan Aït-Nouri, ensured an encouraging display was laced with frustration for the hosts. The Burnley manager, however, rightly focused on the positives.
