Gabbiadini grabs late leveller for Southampton
Burnley missed out on its first Premier League win since mid-December as Manolo Gabbiadini struck late on for Southampton.
Manolo Gabbiadini scored his first Premier League goal of 2018 to earn Southampton a 1-1 draw against Burnley that lifts the Saints out of the relegation zone.
The Italian struck in the 90th minute of the game to deny Burnley a result that would have ended a run of 10 league games without a win for Sean Dyche's men.
After Leicester City was held to a 1-1 draw by Stoke City earlier in the day, Burnley went into the game knowing a win would move it three points clear of Claude Puel's Foxes but the Clarets struggled to break down a resurgent Southampton side for more than an hour.
Mauricio Pellegrino's Saints arrived at Turf Moor having lost just one of their previous five Premier League games and they looked determined to eke out a result, but the lack of a cutting edge in the final third looked set to let them down, as it has done so many times this season.
Burnley struck first blood in the 67th minute when Aaron Lennon, who provided the home side with a threat down both wings throughout the afternoon, whipped the ball into the box, where Ashley Barnes applied the final touch to take it over the line with his head.
But Gabbiadini latched onto Guido Carrillo's pass in the Burnley area and applied a clinical finish to leave the home crowd disappointed at the final whistle.
