Steven Thompson capped a late, late fightback with a 90th minute leveller as travel-weary Burnley scored twice in the last seven minutes to snatch a draw.

Only 36 hours after landing back in the UK from their mini-tour of America, the Reds took advantage of the jet lag in the visitors' ranks to score in each half through John Miles and Sean McConville.

Robbie Blake finally pulled a goal back in the 83rd minute with a low free kick that squirmed just inside the post.

And Thompson, who fired the winner against Portland Timbers on Saturday, struck a stunning leveller in the 90th minute to restore parity.

Steven Thompson shoots in the final minute ...

... and finds the net

After 10 days of searing temperatures in the United States, torrential rain welcomed the Clarets back to Lancashire, where goalkeeper Diego Penny started his first game of pre-season.

Owen Coyle named just six substitutes, with Martin Paterson one of the absentees as he rested a tight hamstring.

Buoyed by a large, all-ticket crowd, the Clarets enjoyed plenty of early possession.

But it was not until midway through the half, following two speculative Stanley efforts, that the first real chance of note fell the visitors' way.

Kevin McDonald weaved towards goal and after looking to over run the ball, his persistence allowed him to find Robbie Blake on the left.

The Clarets striker feigned to curl the ball with his right foot, but cut back on to his left and found the side netting with a fierce, rising drive.

Steven Fletcher's 25-yarder was deflected over on the half hour mark after another surging run by McDonald, this time down the right.

The Clarets record signing had the ball in the net three minutes later, only for play to have already been halted by an offside flag.

And within seconds the Clarets carved out another opening, as Blake's cross was volleyed over by McDonald on the run.

Eagles had already been causing problems on the right, but he popped up on the left nine minutes before half time to hang up a delightful cross to the back post, where Fletcher just failed to get a connection under pressure from Dunbavin.

Stanley's first strike of note followed immediately, as Jimmy Ryan's daisy-cutter forced Penny to turn the ball around the post.

And six minutes before the break, the hosts took the lead. The ball was played in front of the Burnley back line and into the path of right midfielder Miles, who smashed the ball past Penny on the run.

Burnley's response was immediate and when Tyrone Mears low, right wing cross was flicked by Fletcher to Stephen Jordan, his goalbound flick from 10 yards was superbly turned aside by Dunbavin.

And with the final action of the half, Fletcher was inches away from finding the corner with a curler from inside the box after Joey Gudjonsson's cross was only half cleared.

There were three changes at the break, with Richard Eckersley, Chris McCann and Jay Rodriguez replacing Mears, Gudjonsson and Fletcher.

And Rodriguez was straight in the thick of the action, showing great control from Blake's diagonal ball and beating two men only to shoot wide of the near post.

Stanley made substitutions too early in the half and new arrival Andrew Proctor was denied by a fantastic one-handed stop by Penny.

The Reds defender was perfectly placed, two yards out, to meet a headed flick, but Peruvian stopper Penny instinctively stuck out a glove to keep the ball out.

Opposite number Dunbavin made an equally impressive stop in the 65th minute as the Clarets caved out their best opening yet.

Brian Easton did well on the right and his ball inside the full back sent Eagles through, only for the last man to make a superb save from the side-footed attempt.

And within 60 seconds second half sub McConville doubled Stanley's lead, pouncing to fire past Penny from 18 yards following hesitation in the Burnley defence.

The Clarets at last found their range in the 83rd minute.

Rodriguez was fouled 25 yards out and from just right of goal, Blake drilled the ball through the wall and inside the near post, past Dunbavin's despairing dive.

Blake takes the celebrations

Within seconds, the fightback might have been complete as the ball broke to Eagles, whose effort from 18 yards sailed inches too high.

But in a frantic finale, McCann was again denied by Dunbavin's dive before Thompson spun in the penalty are to drive home the leveller.
