Eddie Howe rued another one that got away as the curtain came down on Burnley's season with two more points dropped.

The Clarets led through Danny Ings' 76th classy minute strike, only for City to draw level through substitute Ryan Taylor, who bent a curler past Brian Jensen.

That left the Clarets with just seven wins from their 23 home games this season - leaving them with a 13th place finish in the Championship.

Howe later admitted: "It's another game we should have won and haven't.

"We were desperate to win for the supporters here, who haven't seen many victories and when we got the goal I was really keen to see the game out and go into the summer on a high.

"Instead, we go with the feeling that sums up our season; disappointment."

Ings' struck a 30-yard screamer after City, with no goalkeeper named among their substitutes, replaced injured keeper David James with defender Liam Fontaine.

But Howe admitted: "I don't think we worked their goalkeeper enough once James had gone off and that was a huge disappointment.

"I still felt we had done enough to go on and win the game and it didn't happen, which is reflective of our season really.

"In spells we've been very good and in others we've been not consistent enough to win games.

"Despite not hitting top gear, I can't recall Brian Jensen having a save to make, so as I said afterwards, we really have to learn from these experiences, use it to fire us through the summer and try to come back a better team next year."

On the inclusion of Jensen, preferred to Lee Grant, Howe explained: "It was always in my mind to start Brian.

"He's been excellent in training and just a very good professional to have around the place.

"He hasn't sulked that Lee has had the number one shirt and he deserved to play today."
