Burnley boss Brian Laws believes his strikers are good enough to fire them to safety.

David Nugent nodded home a crucial equaliser in last night's 1-1 draw with Stoke City.

Laws said: "Nugent's in good form as is (Martin) Paterson. That gives you great belief. We have goals in us. We just have to keep it tight at the back.

"Nugent's goal was terrific, it was great ball in by Paterson. It set the tone and I am disappointed we didn't go on and win the game.

"Everyone expects Burnley not to be in the Premier League next year but we believe it.

"I will take a lot of things out of the game particularly the second half performance. They bullied us in the first half.

"The players could have felt sorry for themselves but responded magnificently."
