Stoke City missed the chance to give their hopes of English Premier League survival a major boost when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Burnley on Sunday.
Badoo Ndiaye gave Stoke the lead in the 11th minute at the bet365 Stadium, via a deflection off the boot of Burnley’s Kevin Long.
It was an advantage they seemed comfortable with for the remainder of the first half.
However, Burnley upped the tempo after the break and went level in the 62nd minute, thanks to Ashley Barnes who was scoring his sixth goal in his last eight league games.
Neither team could find a winner, meaning that with three games to play, Stoke are four points behind Swansea City in 19th, with the South Wales side having played two games less.
Burnley stay seventh, four points behind Arsenal in sixth.
