What happened
Burnley recovered from a deficit to secure a point against Middlesbrough, with the visitors demonstrating resilience to avoid defeat. The result reflects Burnley's character in a tight contest, though it leaves questions about their ability to control matches from the front. Both sides will take differing lessons from the stalemate as they continue their Championship campaigns.
Chance analysis
A point gained rather than two dropped for Burnley, who showed the kind of fight Scott Parker has been trying to instil. The inability to lead or control proceedings, however, highlights ongoing issues with game management that could cost them in tighter fixtures down the stretch. For Middlesbrough, taking the lead and failing to hold it will sting — dropping points from winning positions has been a recurring theme that Michael Carrick will need to address.
Burnley avoid defeat through resilience but continue to show fragility in game management; Middlesbrough drop points from a winning position.
