Armando Broja scored a last-minute equaliser to end Burnley’s seven-game losing run and leave Bournemouth winless in eight. Bournemouth thought they had won it when the sought-after Antoine Semenyo scored his eighth goal of the season to finally break through Burnley’s spirited defence after 67 minutes.
But second-half substitutes Marcus Edwards and Broja combined to earn the returning Scott Parker a point his team had scarcely deserved.
A spate of illness forced Parker to make six changes to his side as he came back to the Vitality Stadium for the first time since being sacked by Bournemouth in August 2022. The veteran Kyle Walker was among those recalled to the starting 11 after suspension.
One of Andoni Iraola’s two changes was to bring in David Brooks on the right, and he came close in the early stages, curling a left-foot shot just beyond the far post.
Bournemouth created all the early pressure and Brooks went closer still a few minutes later, this time dragging a low shot just beyond the near post after a clever touch from Evanilson.
