17:07
Turning the game on its head, Burnley mount a brave fight back late in the second half and hold Fulham to a 2-2 draw at Turf Moor. The Clarets had been insipid for most of the match, as their visitors dominated both possession and the shot count, but Fulham's failure to finish off several chances came back to bite them in the end. After establishing a deserved two-goal lead at the interval, Trafford kept the Cottagers at bay with several fine saves before Fofana struck twice on the break. Fulham's 72-year wait for a win in Burnley goes on, as the home side rescue a precious point against all the odds. They visit Premier League leaders Liverpool next week, while Marco Silva's men must try to bounce back at home to Bournemouth. That's all from today's live coverage, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!

FULL-TIME: BURNLEY 2-2 FULHAM
Burnley vs Fulham
16:58
Burnley survive a Willian corner, and belief grows that they can snatch an improbable point from a game they've been second-best in. There are only seconds remaining now.

Yellow Card David Datro Fofana
Burnley vs Fulham
16:51
Odobert shimmies inside from the left flank and beats Tete, but Fofana fails to control his ball into the area. Then O'Shea overhits a pass, as Burnley's latest attempt to find a leveller comes to nothing.

16:50
Substitution Lorenz Assignon Han-Noah Massengo
Burnley vs Fulham
16:48
Unable to reach a hanging free-kick from the right by Willian, Broja can only watch the ball drift wide for a Burnley free-kick. It was a rare mishit from the winger's set-piece delivery.

Substitution Andreas Hugo Hoelgebaum Pereira Kenny Joelle Tete

The home side are replicating the pattern of their first half performance, as they grow stronger as the final whistle approaches. Fulham are being forced back now.
Burnley vs Fulham
16:44
Yellow Card Sander Gard Bolin Berge
Burnley vs Fulham
16:43
The latest Andreas Pereira cross almost finds Broja in the box, but Castagne instead meets it first and glances his header well wide of the target. Burnley breathe again - can they now find a late equaliser?
Burnley vs Fulham
16:42
Assignon asserts himself well to edge Willian out of play on the byline, just as the Fulham winger threatens to produce another opportunity for his team.
Burnley vs Fulham
16:38
Ream is left down on the turf after Foster nudges the American defender over in an aerial challenge. After a brief pause, though, the game can resume. Having been in total control and then missed several good chances, Fulham are now keen to run down the clock.
Burnley vs Fulham

Substitution Bobby Armani De Cordova-Reid Thomas Cairney
Burnley vs Fulham
16:34
Substitution Rodrigo Muniz Carvalho Armando Broja
Burnley vs Fulham
16:32
SAVE! Trafford is keeping Fulham at bay single-handedly! This time, Willian picks up the ball on the left side of the box following a corner, then fires in a shot that the Burnley stopper turns away with a smart save!
Burnley vs Fulham
16:31
Goal David Datro Fofana
Burnley vs Fulham
16:30
Willian's influence is growing, as the Brazilian winger picks out Castagne's run towards the back post with a perfectly judged crossfield pass - the Fulham full-back can only turn it well wide, though.
Burnley vs Fulham
16:30
After pouncing on a pass near the edge of Fulham's area, Brownhill then slashes his shot at goal high over Leno's crossbar - that lacked a little composure.
Burnley vs Fulham
16:26
Esteve dives in to make a crucial sliding block on Andreas Pereira's low cross, conceding a corner-kick in the process. Without the substitute's intervention, surely Fulham would have extended their two-goal advantage.
Burnley vs Fulham
16:24
If anything, Burnley have worsened since the half-time break, and Fulham are full of confidence now. It's as if January never happened for the Cottagers.
Burnley vs Fulham
16:23
TRAFFORD KEEPS THE SCORE DOWN AGAIN! Rodrigo Muniz angles a low shot towards the bottom corner from just inside the area, and Burnley's busy goalkeeper makes another important save! He dives left to palm the ball away to safety - will Fulham rue spurning these chances?
Burnley vs Fulham
16:23
Substitution Aaron James Ramsey Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson
Burnley vs Fulham
16:21
SUPER STOP! Trafford to the rescue again! This time, the Burnley goalkeeper reaches up to push a thumping header by Tosin towards the top of his goal! The Fulham defender rose highest and met Andreas Pereira's corner, but couldn't quite find the net!
Burnley vs Fulham
16:18
SAVE! Following a short-corner routine, Burnley are again left flat-footed. Willian makes the most of some time and space on the left, drilling a powerful low shot towards the bottom corner - Trafford dives down to tip the ball away!
Burnley vs Fulham
16:17
Ream guides the ball behind for a Fulham goal-kick, after Amdouni fails to steal the ball high up on the right flank. The latter has had precious little opportunity to make an impact on today's game.
Burnley vs Fulham
16:14
After a loose ball by Brownhill opens the door for Fulham, Berge hurriedly tracks back to block a Rodrigo Muniz shot from just inside the box. The home side are certainly not helping themselves in this error-strewn display.
Burnley vs Fulham
16:13
Fulham have picked up the pace early in this second half, as they aim to put the game to bed. Burnley are yet to show any signs of staging a comeback.
Burnley vs Fulham
16:11
Vitinho fells De Cordova-Reid with a clumsy challenge, gifting Fulham a free-kick. However, Andreas Pereira's clipped delivery is uncharacteristcally wayward, allowing Trafford to comfortably claim the ball by the penalty spot.
Burnley vs Fulham
16:09
Vitinho's cross from the left byline is only partly cleared away by Robinson, but Ramsey's strike at goal on the follow-up is mishit straight towards Leno, who makes a routine save.
Burnley vs Fulham
16:07
Substitution Hjalmar Ekdal Maxime Esteve
Burnley vs Fulham
16:05
Fulham kick off, and we are back under way at Turf Moor!
Burnley vs Fulham
16:03
Since April 2023, Fulham are unbeaten in four league matches when leading at half-time, winning on three occasions; meanwhile, Burnley have a record of 13 straight losses when trailing at the break this season. The outcome of today's game seems set in stone, then - but stranger things have happened in the Premier League.
Burnley vs Fulham
15:57
Rewarded for a greater share of possession and clinical finishing when their chances arose, Fulham shook off their final-third slumbers to score twice during a first half that Burnley lost control of after a relatively bright start. First, Joao Palhinha flicked in a header from close range, then Rodrigo Muniz lobbed the Cottagers further in front shortly after, as Turf Moor was left in stunned silence. The visitors are therefore on course for their first success at this ground since 1951, while their hosts have it all to do after the interval: on this evidence, they could be heading back to the Championship a few months from now.
Burnley vs Fulham
15:51
HALF-TIME: BURNLEY 0-2 FULHAM
Burnley vs Fulham
15:50
For a clear show of dissent towards the referee, Andreas Pereira is needlessly booked on the brink of half-time.
Burnley vs Fulham
15:50
Apparently fully recovered, Odobert now returns from the touchline, in the first of at least three minutes of first-half stoppage time.
Burnley vs Fulham
15:47
Odobert has remained on the turf after Reed's ugly challenge, with the medics checking him over. The action is paused as a result, so both teams take on drinks and tactical instructions during the break in play.
Burnley vs Fulham
15:47
Fulham appear to have run out of steam, with Burnley coming back into this encounter as half-time approaches. Can the Clarets reduce their deficit before the break?
Burnley vs Fulham
15:44
CLOSE! Burnley are growing in confidence now! At the end of a long passing sequence inside Fulham's half, Odobert bundles his way through two challenges and fires wide from just inside the box! It zipped only inches past the right-hand post!
Burnley vs Fulham
15:44
Yellow Card Harrison James Reed
Burnley vs Fulham
15:42
Shortly after Odobert fires a shot high over the crossbar, he wins a free-kick from De Cordova-Reid on the left wing. It comes to nothing, but he's offered a rare ray of light for Burnley today.
Burnley vs Fulham
15:40
Willian is penalised for a shove on Assignon, so Burnley have a welcome set-piece opportunity out on the right flank. However, after an outswinging cross causes a moment of minor panic in the Fulham area, the visitors manage to clear their lines.
Burnley vs Fulham
15:38
SHARP STOP! After Andreas Pereira is sent clear, with Burnley's bedraggled defence left wide open, he cuts in from the left and drills a shot towards the top-left corner. Trafford is equal to it, though, and palms the ball over his crossbar!
Burnley vs Fulham
15:36
Fulham's six January fixtures across the Premier League, FA Cup and EFL Cup saw Marco Silva's men only manage to find the net on three occasions - today, they've already scored two and look likely to add more.
Burnley vs Fulham
15:35
After receiving the ball from Rodrigo Muniz - who notched his first Premier League goal of the season earlier in the game - Willian strikes at goal from the edge of the area, but his effort is blocked by a Burnley defender.
Burnley vs Fulham
15:32
Burnley are still being pinned back, with Foster regularly engaged in helping out his defence. Marco Silva must be delighted with Fulham's intensity and movement so far - they've become the dominant force in this game.
Burnley vs Fulham
15:31
With a healthy lead in hand, Fulham are focusing on keeping possession now: the away side have had 67 per cent of the ball so far. Burnley don't really seem to have an answer to them at the moment.
Burnley vs Fulham
15:29
Foster brings down Joao Palhinha in midfield, and the home fans' frustrations grow. It's been a horror start to this game for Burnley, who are in desperate need of points.
Burnley vs Fulham
15:24
Assist Antonee Robinson
Burnley vs Fulham
15:24
Burnley have now conceded 22 first-half goals in 23 Premier League matches - more than any other team in the English top flight this season. How will they respond?
Burnley vs Fulham
15:22
Goal Rodrigo Muniz Carvalho
Burnley vs Fulham
15:20
Assist Andreas Hugo Hoelgebaum Pereira
Burnley vs Fulham
15:20
JUST WIDE! A teasing cross from the right picks out Castagne at the near post, but the full-back can only guide the ball past the right-hand post with an awkward attempted finish! Just off-target!
Burnley vs Fulham
15:18
Goal João Maria Lobo Alves Palhares Costa Palhinha Gonçalves
Burnley vs Fulham
15:17
Some delightful wing play by Odobert sees him slip away from two men and then reach the left byline, but Casatagne intervenes and blocks his subsequent cross behind for a corner. It ultimately comes to nothing - still, Burnley are posing a real threat.
Burnley vs Fulham
15:15
Sending a drive skidding along the turf from 20 yards out, Berge only finds the gloves of Leno, who gathers the ball safely in the centre of his goal.
Burnley vs Fulham
15:13
Berge covers across well to deny Cordova-Reid a clear run through on goal, following an incisive low pass by Rodrigo Muniz. It's been a lively opening 10 minutes here, with both teams willing to fly forward on the counter.
Burnley vs Fulham
15:11
Back in the starting XI today, Ream saves his side with a crucial last-ditch interception, just as Odobert seems set to turn home Foster's low cross. That was a rapid attack by the hosts.
Burnley vs Fulham
15:10
Though Rodrigo Muniz catches Berge with a high boot, only a free-kick is awarded by the referee, who could have chosen to show an early yellow card to the Fulham striker - he was quite careless there.
Burnley vs Fulham
15:08
Fulham comfortably clear Burnley's corner, and the midfield contest resumes. These teams seem well-matched on the early evidence.
Burnley vs Fulham
15:07
Both sides are settling into the match, with no sustained period of possession for either, before Foster bursts down the right and chops inside, setting up a shot from Vitinho that is deflected well wide.
Burnley vs Fulham
15:05
An opening-week win over Everton remains the last time that Fulham won away from home in the Premier League, while Burnley hold the top flight's worst home record. That makes today's game particularly tough to predict.
Burnley vs Fulham
15:03
The hosts kick off, and we are under way in Burnley!
Burnley vs Fulham
14:58
The players are all out on the pitch at Turf Moor, and kick-off in this Premier League contest is now just moments away!
Burnley vs Fulham
14:58
Meanwhile, Marco Silva makes three changes to the Fulham XI that started against Everton in midweek: Ream replaces Diop in defence, Cairney makes way for Reed in midfield, with Rodrigo Muniz deputising for injured striker Raul Jimenez up front. Following a deadline-day arrival from Chelsea, Broja begins his Cottagers career on the bench, while Nigeria duo Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey are still away at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Burnley vs Fulham
14:54
In one of two changes to the Burnley team that started against Man City earlier this week, loan signing Assignon makes his Premier League debut, replacing Al Dakhil; Ramsey also comes in for Gudmundsson. Fofana - who set up a consolation goal on his debut - is again consigned to the bench, with Foster leading the line up front. Charlie Taylor, Jordan Beyer and Hannes Delcroix are all absent through injury.

Burnley vs Fulham
14:38
Fulham were forced to settle for a point in Tuesday's goalless draw at home to Everton, which at least ended their losing run in the league. However, the Cottagers have still lost five top-flight away games on the spin, as part of a ten-match winless run on the road. Not only have Fulham failed to score in five of their last six Premier League matches - including a 2-0 defeat in December's reverse fixture - they haven’t won away to Burnley since 1951, with 28 winless visits since.
Burnley vs Fulham
14:38
Seven points adrift of safety, Burnley were beaten by Manchester City in midweek and occupy 19th place in the Premier League table. On course for an instant return to the Championship, which they won in some style last season, the Clarets have accrued just four points from 33 available at home this term. Nonetheless, Vincent Kompany’s side will now aim to complete a top-flight double over today's opponents for the first time since 1966.
