Burnley lost three men -- skipper Jason Shackell, Dean Marney and substitute Kevin Long -- to a combination of injury and illness early on, but the comeback kings responded spectacularly as they sealed a 3-3 draw against Newcastle.
The visitors trailed three times at St James' Park and looked to be heading for defeat when Moussa Sissoko put the Magpies 3-2 ahead with just 12 minutes remaining, only for George Boyd to dash the home side's hopes with a late leveller.
For Burnley boss Sean Dyche, it was another remarkable afternoon just five days after his side came back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 at Manchester City.
Dyche said: "There is a mentality here that is very, very strong, and it's been there all season. People have said to me, 'You must be pleased with the belief now' -- I was pleased with it at the beginning of the season.
"The performances over this Christmas period have been absolutely outstanding. How we didn't get anything against Liverpool is a head-scratcher in itself; we were excellent at Manchester City and I thought we were excellent today.
"We have just played five out of the top 10 and taken five points over that Christmas period with a lot of games - very good signs about what we think we can do this season.''
Dyche sent out the same starting XI for the sixth successive game, but the premature exits of Shackell, Marney and Long -- he fears the latter may have suffered a serious ankle injury -- tore his plans apart, although the manager was not about the feel sorry for himself.
He said: "I don't do excuses, I haven't got time for excuses at any level of football, and certainly not at this level of football.''
