Chris Wood's stoppage-time penalty rescued a point for Burnley at Turf Moor to dent Wolverhampton Wanderers' charge for a place in the top four.

In the first half, Romain Saiss headed over from a corner before Diogo Jota fired into the side netting as the visitors made most of the running.

At the other end, Jay Rodriguez sent a powerful shot over the crossbar with Wood available at the far post.

After the break, Ruben Neves produced an excellent block as Josh Brownhill shot from a tight angle for Burnley.

On 76 minutes, Adama Traore's run ended with Matt Doherty's deflected shot sitting up for Raul Jimenez just inside the penalty area, and he volleyed sweetly into the corner of the net.

Wood missed a chance to equalise from point-blank range in stoppage time but he made no mistake when Doherty was penalised for a handball soon after, dispatching an emphatic penalty to make the score 1-1.

Burnley are 10th with 51 points while Wolves remain sixth, now with 56.
