Match Round-Up:

Burnley can be pleased with the performance. They matched Preston for most of the game and had the best chances until the last 10 minutes when the Clarets were put under some pressure. They however weathered the storm and will be the happier of the two teams. McGreal and Lowe in particular played well with a much improved Duff in defence and Harley came the closest to scoring from a few yards out.

Steve Cotterill's Post Match Comments:

'I felt we thoroughly deserved our point, but it could've been all three because we had the best chance of the game with Jon Harley. We're proud of our performance'
