Both sides struck the woodwork, but were generally lacking a cutting edge as they had to settle for a point apiece at Turf Moor.

The Cherries went close to breaking the deadlock inside the opening two minutes, with Evanilson rounding Martin Dubravka before he was denied on the line by Bashir Humphreys.

Burnley carried the greater attacking threat across the remainder of the first half, as Zian Flemming's snapshot and a curling Jaidon Anthony attempt both called Djordje Petrovic into action.

Humphreys was then blocked from close range, while Anthony then fired a volley against the crossbar from a deep corner just before half-time.

Bournemouth also struck the woodwork early in the second half, with Marcus Tavernier's fierce low strike shaving the outside of the post.

The Cherries had a couple of chances to snatch all three points in stoppage-time.

Enes Unal steered wide from Adrien Truffert's low cross, before David Brooks's glancing header sent narrowly past the wrong side of the far post.
