Burnley boss Sean Dyche has admitted that he was delighted with his side's effort in their 1-1 draw with Aston Villa in the Premier League.
The Clarets fell behind to a strike from Joe Cole in the 39th minute, but Danny Ings rescued a point for his side when he netted an 87th-minute penalty at Turf Moor.
Both sides had chances to win the game in the dying minutes as Ings and Lukas Juktiewicz threatened for the hosts, but Dyche feels that his team are showing excellent signs of progress in the top flight.
He told the club's official website: "It was a well-fought point. A lot has been made of Aston Villa, but they are a good side and there is certainly no question of them downing tools. In the second half they tried to drain the life out of the game but I'm pleased to say we brought it back to life with a big finish.
"In the end, it's a strange one, but we are scratching our heads that we didn't win it. Perhaps though, it's a sign of how far we've come that we are 0-1 down at home to Aston Villa and we're disappointed not to win.
"However, it's a great thing when you are picking up points. We came back from a goal down to secure a point and they are good things for the group."
Burnley are unbeaten in three games and 19th in the Premier League table, with 11 points from their 13 matches this season.
