Burnley manager Sean Dyche praised his side's 1-1 draw against Aston Villa, though was disappointed they could not claim three points despite being a goal down in the final 10 minutes.
Paul Lambert's side went ahead through a Joe Cole goal in the 38th minute, though the Clarets improved after the break and eventually equalised through a Danny Ings penalty three minutes from time.
Burnley were targeting a third successive top-flight win for the first time in nearly 40 years, and Dyche again hailed the character shown by his side to battle back for a point.
"In the end, with the chances we created, you're scratching your head how we didn't win it but, on the balance of the game without the last seven or eight minutes, it was really close," he said.
"They're certainly not a team that are broken, I'm sure of that. There's plenty of energy about them, there's a belief and there's some good players there.
"We recognised that and I thought they came on really strong first half. That was not a surprise to us, we said that to the players.
"Ian Holloway last year said we had a strong chin. It's harder to do that in this division, because you can get punished, but that was on show again today.
"The mentality of the players, the energy, the quality -- the mix was right, particularly in the last 10 or 15 minutes.
"It's a great sign of where we're going and what we're hoping to achieve when we come away disappointed at not beating Aston Villa after being 1-0 down."
The result leaves Burnley 19th in the table, though level on points with QPR and Hull above them.
