Venue: Turf Moor

Result: Burnley 1–1 Middlesbrough (HT: 0–1)

Middlesbrough struck first and Burnley responded after the break as the sides shared the points at Turf Moor. Boro’s early threat was rewarded midway through the first half when a move down the right ended with Aidan Morris finishing to make it 0–1 (23’). Burnley steadied themselves but went in behind at the interval.

Burnley came out with increased intensity after half-time and made two changes at the break to shift the momentum. The equaliser arrived when Ugo Raghouber picked the ball up around 30 yards out, drove forward and curled a strike into the far corner for 1–1 (54’), his first goal for the club. Burnley pushed for a winner and went close again soon after, with Radek Vítek producing a key save to deny a one-on-one chance, while Boro also had moments in transition as the match opened up.

The closing stages became more fragmented with substitutions and fouls, and although both teams had spells in the final third, neither could find a decisive second goal. Burnley finished the match with a late booking for Raghouber in stoppage time, and the contest ended level.
