Arteta calls for Arsenal stars to show passion and enthusiasm in 'most beautiful part of the season’

Burnley’s hopes of Premier League survival were dealt another blow despite a brilliant strike by Jacob Bruun Larsen as Wolverhampton Wanderers fought back from a goal down to draw 1-1 at Turf Moor on Tuesday.

Nottingham Forest’s 3-1 over Fulham earlier in the evening means that they are in 17th place on 25 points, three ahead of Luton Town in 18th spot and six ahead of second-from-bottom Burnley, while Wolves are 10th on 42 points.

Burnley went ahead in the 37th minute through Bruun Larsen, who met a deep cross on the right from Dara O’Shea with a stunning volley with his instep that flew past the helpless Jose Sa in the Wolves goal.

However, Wolves levelled in first-half stoppage time as Rayan Ait-Nouri was left completely unmarked in the box to send a powerful downward header from Pablo Sarabia’s free kick bouncing into the net to secure a point.

SA SAVES! Vitinho shows some great footwork and drives into the box where the Wolves players almost look a bit scared to touch him. He then shoots but Sa gobbles up the chance, which was a pretty easy stop for him.

Gomes has had to get some treatment. It allows Kompany and O'Neil to give some instructions to their teams. Both managers should be pretty happy with this opening 35 minutes so far.

Sarabia nearly found Chiwome rushing through on-goal but the Spaniard takes a loose touch and then plays a poor pass which allows Esteve to intercept. If his touch was tighter Burnley were in danger there.

Muric has really had a huge impact on Burnley's recent form. The goalkeeper has been progressive with his passing, and at times a little bit risky but so far it is working out.

WOW! WHAT A CHANCE! Doherty sneaks round the back post to send Sarabia's corner back across goal to Gomes but the Brazilian flicks his header wide. He has his head in his hands and you can't blame him.

Bueno has two attempts to cross the ball but on both occasions can only find claret and blue shirts. They weren't bad balls, Burnley have just been really strong defensively so far in this half.

Doherty tries to go on his own and probably wishes he didn't. He cut in and attempted to whip it but on his weaker foot, it went wide.

Ait-Nouri is let down by his touch, he just tries to push the ball into space but a heavy touch allows Vitinho to come in and clear the ball.

In terms of action on the pitch, there isn't too much to report on, but in the stands, a section of the crowd have had to be moved because of a leak in the roof. The fans who are moving aren't missing too much.
