Burnley 1 Nottingham Forest 1


By Burnley FC
April 1 2013

A controversial penalty with the very last kick of the game and seven minutes into stoppage time cruelly denied Burnley victory against play-off chasing Forest.

The Clarets looked to have ended Forest boss Billy Davies’s unbeaten return to the City Ground after Junior Stanislas fired home in the 68th minute.
But more than six minutes into the allotted five added-on minutes, Kevin Long was ruled to have tripped Henri Lansbury in the box.
And after referee Nigel Miller, who had incensed both teams throughout the afternoon, pointed to the spot, Lewis McGugan made no mistake in the 97th minute to somehow salvage a point. 
Burnley made three changes to the side that drew 1-1 at Watford three days earlier.
Sam Vokes was rewarded for his last minute equaliser at Vicarage Road with a start in preference to Danny Ings.
Elsewhere, Danny Lafferty and Alex Kacaniklic made way for Ben Mee and Stanislas respectively.
Forest made six changes to the team that also picked up a point at home to Brighton on Saturday.
And the visitors made the brighter start, almost taking the lead in the fourth minute.
Playmaker Lewis McGugan raided the right flank and from his cross Billy Sharp rose highest, but was denied by a great tip over from Lee Grant.

I think Mr Dyche is a really really slow learner!
