Loan signing David Datro Fofana was the hero for Burnley as the Vertu Motors-backed side battled back from two goals down to secure a vital point against Fulham.
Burnley went into the game on the back of a 3-1 defeat at Manchester City in the previous match, where two early goals from Julian Alvarez has ended any hope of Vincent Kompany s side securing a shock result against his former club.
The chances of a victory against Fulham were seen as more realistic however, particularly given that Burnley had secured all three points in the reverse fixture prior to Christmas - when goals from Wilson Odobert and Sander Berge had lifted the Clarets off the bottom of the table.
Things didn t start well for the home side at Turf Moor when Joao Palhinha nodded in a corner after 17 minutes, with a slight deflection off Berge being enough to send the ball beyond keeper James Trafford.
It got worse just a few minutes later when a long ball over the top fell to the feet of Rodrigo Muniz, who was able to lob the ball over Trafford from the edge of the box to give Fulham a 2-0 lead.
Andreas Pereira had a chance to make it three before the break, with Burnley s best chance falling to Odobert who shot narrowly wide from a tight angle after bursting into the box.
Fulham also started strongly in the second half, with Willian seeing a shot saved by Trafford before the keeper was forced to tip a header from Tosin Adarabioyo over the bar as the Londoners looked to wrap up the game.
The game changed however when Fofana - who signed on loan from Chelsea during the January window - was introduced shortly after the hour mark, setting up a chance for Josh Brownhill to smash over the bar.
After a Fulham corner, Burnley were able to break quickly with 20 minutes to go and when Bernd Leno misjudged a cross, Fofano was left with an empty net to nod in his first goal for the club.
Heading into stoppage time, Burnley were still chasing the game but a cross from Odobert was turned in by Fofana to make it 2-2 and salvage a point - marking the first time this season that the Clarets had come back to earn something from a losing position.
Burnley now head to Anfield to take on Liverpool this coming weekend.
