ROUWEN Hennings came off the bench to score his first goal for Burnley and help the Clarets come back from 2-0 down to earn a point at Cardiff.

The Bluebirds led through Aron Gunnarsson’s header in the 41st minute before Sean Morrison doubled their advantage in the second as Burnley conceded twice from set pieces.

But substitute Hennings sparked the fightback with a lovely shot on the turn, then deep into stoppage time a Matthew Connolly own goal earned the determined Clarets a point.

It is Burnley’s third consecutive draw but their most hard earned one.

George Boyd twice came close to putting Burnley in front in the first half, having a shot from Andre Gray’s lay-off blocked on the line before narrowly clearing the angle soon after, with a suspicion of handball to steer it on its way.

Cardiff responded to the threat with the opener, as Gunnarsson headed in Joe Ralls’ free kick.

The Bluebirds were flying when Morrison climbed to meet Peter Whittingham’s corner to make it 2-0.

But Hennings led the Burnley charge, and the Clarets kept at it to earn a late point from a goalmouth scramble from Dean Marney's cross, capping the midfielder's comeback from injury.
