A LOOK at the key moments from the game against Ipswich.
NIK MICHOPOULOS Did reasonably well in his first start for four months. Made a brave block towards the end ...7
MARK McGREGOR Another solid performance at right back and handled Town's forward runs well... 7
TONY GRANT Looked keen to get on the scoresheet and used the ball well to get Burnley forward ...7
ARTHUR GNOHERE Worked well with debutant Drissa Diallo to establish a solid unit in the centre of defence. Vital clearances... 7
IAN MOORE Unlucky not to get on the scoresheet after displaying excellent footwork and making good runs. Did well to earn his side a penalty to draw level ...8
ALAN MOORE Carried on from where he left off last week with an impressive display. Made the pass which led to Burnley's penalty award... 7
ROBBIE BLAKE Took penalty well but would have been disappointed not to have scored from open play after carving out chances for himself and working well with Glen Little... 7
GRAHAM BRANCH Outstanding at the back. Made a number of tackles at crucial times to prevent Ipswich from adding to their tally... 8
PAUL COOK Sponsor's man of the match. The midfielder worked hard in his first start since injury against Norwich in November ...7
GLEN LITTLE Good to have him back in the side, even if it's just to see the brilliant link-up play between him and Blake.... 7

TIME FOR ACTION
04 Tony Grant had a shot blocked, the ball fell for Ian Moore 25 yards out but his right-foot shot was wide of the post
06 Paul Cook's free kick was whipped in from the right, Ian Moore beat Thomas Gaardsoe to it and, although he looked to have handled it, goalkeeper Andy Marshall made a great save on the line
17 Robbie Blake made great inroads going forward but the move unfortunately broke down as Glen Little slipped on the byeline when he was in a good position to cross
22 Ipswich take the lead after Darren Ambrose's corner was flicked on by Jim Magilton. The Clarets defence stood still as Pablo Counago poked the ball into an empty net
36 Little did well as he took on Matt Holland and was unlucky to see his left-foot shot bend wide of the left-hand upright
39 Blake's surging run ended with his right-foot shot from the edge of the area thundering past Marshall's left post
51 Graham Branch made a superb double block to stop Fabian Wilnis and Jim Magilton from making progress as Ipswich broke
55 Marcus Bent chipped the ball over the top of Arthur Gnohere, Darren Bent ran onto it but screwed his shot wide
58 Branch came to the rescue once more after Marcus Bent latched onto Tommy Miller's throughball. Bent had time to bring it down inside the area but Branch slid in with a crucial challenge
64 PENALTY! Alan Moore released Ian Moore with a delightful delivery into the area, the keeper advanaced, clipping Ian Moore's heels and the referee had no hesitation in pointing to the spot
65 Back of the net! Blake sends Andy Marshall the wrong way with a great spot-kick to give Burnley a well-earned equaliser
67 Hermann Hreidarsson thumps a header into the ground and over the bar after latching onto Magilton's free kick
78 Drissa Diallo made a crucial goal-line clearance as Darren Bent looked to plant the ball into an empty net
85 Dimi Papadopoulos somehow hits the post from what seemed to be an unmissable position - just two yards out.
