90 Five minutes added on!

85 Burnley are all over a nervy Swansea all of a sudden and Thompson curls one just wide from 18 yards. With added on time a certainty, this one ain't over just yet.

78: Sub: Kuqi for Dobbie. Iwelumo has tweaked a hamstring and is a virtual spectarot now as Burnley battle on effectively with nine men

72 Sub: Eagles for Marney

71 This is an amazing game! Right up the other end and Fox's cross is met by Thompson, whose header us straight at de Vries.

68 Sub: Dyer makes way for Orlandi

67 Sub: Thompson for Paterson.

65 de Vries needlessly handles outside the box close to his by-line and is booked. The free kick comes to nothing

64 Sub: Alexander makes way for Cork

62 Elliott moves to right back and Swansea make a sub: Allen on for Cotterill

60 RED CARD Mears heads for an early bath for a foul on Dyer

57 RED CARD Pratley, booked for diving, sees red for a bad foul on Mears in the centre circle. Is that the break the Burnley need.

57 Burnley switch the system as Paterson goes up top alongside Iwelumo and Elliott moves out wide.

50 Sinclair again beats the offside trap, but Jensen makes a miraculous save with an outstretched leg after racing 25 yards form goal. It's saved Burnley's bacon because that would be a certain second.

47 Pratley booked for diving in the box. It's a big decision by referee Steve Tanner and the home crowd don't like it.

second half underway

44 Marney is inches away as the Clarets get their passing game together across the area. His curler wrong foots de Vries, but fizzes just past the upright

38 Straight away Marney picks out Elliott and as the midfielder looks to sweep the ball to the unmarked Paterson in the box, a block denies a real goalscoring chance

38 Iwelumo looks to get a glancing touch to Wallace's left wing cross, but the ball flies the wrong side of the post.

32 Immediately Swansea break through Cotterill in midfield and he sends Sinclair clear straight down the middle. Jensen makes a terrific save though to keep the Clarets in this game.

31 Wallace's cross evades everyone and de Vries spots the danger to save.

28 Paterson with Burnley's first effort, cutting in from the right and forcing a fine fingertip save from de Vries with a curling 25-yard effort.

23 Dyer spins Fox on the half way line and the jet-heeled wide man is off again. This time he picks out Pratley, who controls and smacks the crossbar from 18 yards

19 Swansea really on top and this time the danger comes down Burnley's left, but Taylor is eventually beaten to the loose ball by Jensen. The Clarets are on the rack!

17 Dyer's pace again causes chaos and this time the left winger's cross is inch perfect for Dobbie, who drives wide from inside the six yard box. What a let off!

8 GOAL! 1-0 Sinclair takes advantage of Cotterill's mis-kick in the box when Swansea beat the offside trap down Burnley's left. The ball inside Fox creates the opening for Tate and Sinclair can't miss from eight yards.

30 secs Early half chance for Burnley as Paterson's low cross from the right is bizarrely left by Williams at his near post, but Iwelumo can't react to the error
