But Sean Dyche’s never-say-die side shrugged off the frustration and righted the wrong in sensational fashion to extend their unbeaten run to 16 games. 

Earlier, Andre Gray’s 23rd goal of the season cancelled out Dale Stephens’ opener, before Anthony Knockaert restored the hosts’ lead with a deflected 45th minute strike. 

And the stunning events at the Amex duly kept Albion at arms’ length as the season draws to breathtaking climax. 

Ashley Barnes returned to the squad for the first time since May in the only change to the 18 that drew with Wolves last time out. 

Barnes replaced Rouwen Hennings on the bench in front of Albion’s biggest home crowd of the season. 

And Burnley wasted no time setting about their toughest test of the season, as Gray tested David Stockdale with a drive from distance in the first minute. 

Joey Barton failed to connect cleanly David Jones’ second corner in a matter of minutes as the Clarets’ composed start continued. 

Liam Rosenior blazed over from Albion’s first foray forward, as the hosts looked to counter quickly at every opportunity. 

But the visitors continued to probe and from a long ball forward midway through the half, in-form Sam Vokes chested down and volleyed tamely wide. 

However, on the half hour, Albion opened the scoring. A corner flicked off Matt Lowton’s head to the far post where Stephens somehow bundled the ball home from the tightest of angles. 

It needed a response – and it got one within three minutes as Burnley equalised.
