Burnley boss Scott Parker, spoke to BBC Match of the Day after his side's draw with Tottenham: “I think we did [enough to win the game].

"You score the second and take the lead, you understand that at that moment, they're going to commit a lot more men forward and the centre-half they commit ends up scoring the goal.

"A little bit disappointing, no doubt, because you're that close and in the last dying seconds you concede. But overall, really pleased with my team.

"I thought we showed an incredible spirit today and showed our quality at time. After going a goal down, our response from superb. Just disappointed we didn't hold on."

On reaction to going behind: “That’s the key. In our position, we’re in and around it. Human natural is that in these moments you can become very nervy, very edgy but I’ve not seen that from my group this season.

"Our reaction was superb. We need to continue where we're going. If you look at the start of this season, we've improved massively.

"We've played Manchester United and Liverpool, and improved in our second performance. Now we've played Tottenham, who we played opening day, and at times looked a little bit startled and we've put in another good performance here.

"I know we need some wins, I'm not hiding from that fact, and we were close to day, but there has been some real improvement."

On Lyle Foster sub: “We needed to freshen things up, the boys gave everything. Lyle comes in and scores a goal, which was brilliant. This is a tight group, a together group and we need everyone to give us a chance.

"We've spoken about the fine margins throughout this year and again there has been massively improvement for sure. Some real positives today and we'll take them and carry them forward with us."

On turning draws into wins: “No denying that, we’re at that point now. Can we turn these draws into wins? That’s what we’ll endeavour to do.”
