BURNLEY were denied successive home wins in the Premier League as Hull City snatched a dramatic point at Turf Moor.

Steven Defour’s superb solo strike looked to have set the Clarets on course for another three points, but Robert Snodgrass curled home a 95th minute free-kick to earn the visitors.

The first chance for the Tigers saw Abel Hernandez pounce on some rare loose footwork from Michael Keane, who got his feet in a tangle 20 yards from goal, but the Uruguayan’s curling left-footer was palmed away by Tom Heaton.

Burnley’s best sighting of goal in the opening quarter came from a Defour corner which caused chaos in the Tigers box. Twice George Boyd poked the ball towards goal but the Hull defence managed to scramble clear.

Sean Dyche's side barely threatened in the first 45 minutes and their only other real effort on goal saw Stephen Ward fire narrowly over from 20 yards after Johann Berg Gudmundsson’s back-post volley had been blocked.

It had been a tepid and uninspiring first half from the Clarets and they almost went in behind at the break. Snodgrass was the architect for Hull, threading a sublime ball through to David Meyler, who got round the back off Lowton, but while his shot beat Heaton it clipped the far post and went behind.

Burnley forced a corner early in the second half, with Andre Gray’s shot deflected wide, and from the half-cleared set-piece Dean Marney blasted the bouncing ball over.

At the other end Hull again missed a golden opportunity to take the lead. Andy Robertson’s low cross found Diomande six-yards out at the back post, but he turned the ball narrowly wide with the goal gaping.

Chances were still few and far between for Burnley but Marney saw a show from inside the area blocked after Gudmundsson, Gray and Sam Vokes had linked up in the box.

Hull stopper Eldin Jakupovic was finally called into action midway through the second half. Michael Keane stepped out of defence to launch an attack, passing to Gray, who sent the ball onto Boyd and his 25-yard drive was easily held by the Tigers goalkeeper.

Burnley were at least beginning to work up a head of steam, even if the efforts were from distance, and Vokes was next to try his luck, sending a fierce drive wide.

Heaton had to make a smart save from Snodgrass’ volley after the Scotland international had outmuscled Ward to get on the end of Robertson’s long diagonal ball, but with just over 15 minutes to go the Clarets broke the deadlock in style.

Defour produced a sublime touch in the centre circle to take Sam Clucas out of the game and then drove forward into the space created before firing into the bottom corner from 25 yards.

That was the Belgium international’s last touch before he was replaced by debutant Jeff Hendrick.

Hull were inches away from an equaliser with just over 10 minutes to go when Curtis Davies headed a Snodgrass corner against the crossbar.

Debutant Ryan Mason was then incensed he hadn’t won a penalty for the visitors. He went down under a challenge from Heaton as the Burnley captain tried to prevent a corner, but he looked to be on his way down before any contact was made and a goal kick was the outcome.

The Tigers managed to snatch a point they had probably deserved with the final action of the game. Huddlestone was tripped 25 yards out and Snodgrass stepped up to curl his left-footed effort into the corner of the net.
