00:00 Just walking out of Turfmoor here, where Burnley have just drawn 1-1 with Wolves.
00:06 A bit of a frustrating night really, not the worst result in isolation, but with Forrest winning and Everton drawing, the gap to safety is now 6 points.
00:15 And it was a night where Burnley could have won, it felt like the win was there for them, they just couldn't get it over the line.
00:20 It was a case of really what could have been.
00:23 They put the noses in front, they took the lead through, a pretty smart finish from Brun Larsson, first time finish from Dara O'Shea's cross.
00:31 It looked like they were going to hold on to that until half time.
00:35 Then Wolves levelled again from a free kick and a bit of controversy involved.
00:43 It wasn't a free kick, if it was it was very soft.
00:46 Even then Burnley should have done better, they had to defend the cross letter, the Wolves man was completely unmarked to head home.
00:53 That was literally the last kick of the first half.
00:55 Second half, Burnley huffed and puffed, had a go, had a 10-15 minute spell.
01:00 The start of the second half, they looked really dangerous, but after that, I'm not going to say they ran out of ideas, but I thought Wolves were fairly comfortable.
01:08 It's a draw, it's 1-1, they've been beaten in four now, so in terms of form and run it's the best of the season really.
01:15 It looked like it could be too late, but obviously it's a big game against Everton.
01:20 You do feel that's perhaps the last chance to loom for that.
01:24 Burnley really need to be winning that one.
