Bowyer: We "fully deserved" equaliser

Blackburn Rovers boss Gary Bowyer has praised his team's resilience in bouncing back from a goal down at Turf Moor.

Junior Stanislas's 74th-minute strike put Burnley in front in a hotly-contested Lancashire derby, but Jordan Rhodes notched an equaliser with six minutes left on the clock.

"When we go 1-0 down with 10 minutes to go, and the average age of the team was 22, you do wonder and question how they're going to react," PA quotes Bowyer as saying.

"But in this environment we have got nothing but praise for them because they came back with a fantastic attitude and spirit, and in my opinion fully deserved the equaliser."

Lee Williamson was sent off for in the final minute for bringing down Danny Ings, who was clean through on goal.
