BURNLEY 1 SOUTHAMPTON 1
Feb 24 (Reuters) - Southampton moved their heads just above the Premier League's bottom three after Manolo Gabbiadini grabbed a late equaliser in a 1-1 draw at Burnley on Saturday.
Burnley looked set to end a 10-match winless run in the league after Ashley Barnes headed them into the lead in the second half but Southampton dug out a crucial point.
Time was almost up at Turf Moor when Gabbiadini popped up in the area to turn home Guido Carrillo's header back across goal.
Southampton, who have managed one win in their last 15 league games, have 27 points but edged above Swansea City and Crystal Palace on goal difference. (Reporting by Martyn Herman; Editing by Toby Davis)
