Burnley 1 - 1 Aston Villa

Heskey denies Clarets

Steven Caldwell celebrates giving his side the lead

Substitute Emile Heskey rescued a point for Aston Villa with his 86th-minute header against Burnley at Turf Moor.

Burnley captain Steven Caldwell had put his side ahead with a ninth-minute header from Robbie Blake's free-kick.

That looked like being enough until Heskey popped up with four minutes to go to convert James Milner's cross.

History, and there was a lot of it, had been against Villa from the start as they had not won at Burnley in their previous 22 league meetings - their last was in 1936 - and were without an away victory in four games going into this fixture.

Prior to the game, the home record of Owen Coyle's side was bettered only by Chelsea and Manchester United.
