Burnley boss Scott Parker, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: “I demanded a reaction [after the Brighton defeat] and every one of the players wanted that reaction as well. So we come off the back of a result at the weekend where we were hugely critical, me as well to the group, and the players as well. We let ourselves down at the weekend in a certain element that we need to bring to a game of football in the Premier League – and we did that tonight.
"We started the game well. We get our noses in front and from there, going 2-1 down, the reaction after that was superb really. Pleased with a point and we move on – a big point for us."
On Jaidon Anthony's goal: “Brilliant goal. He was brilliant all round when he came on. He brought an energy, brought a calmness and showed his quality. Really, really pleased for Jaidon. It was a great goal and got us back in the game.”
On whether this result gives his side belief: “There’s definitely belief. There’s been some tough times and of course that’s the way it’s been, but I see a pure belief in the team tonight.”
