Burnley boss Owen Coyle delivered an upbeat assessment after his side were pegged back to draw 1-1 at home to Leicester. David Unsworth fired home his first goal for the Clarets in the 19th minute with a neat left-foot finish to put Coyle on course for his third win in four games since taking the helm. But Iain Hume volleyed home at the far post with 12 minutes remaining to secure a barely-deserved point for Leicester. A series of missed second-half opportunities, with Kyle Lafferty and Andy Gray particularly culpable, meant Burnley could not build on victories at high-flying Watford and Charlton during the past week. "In the first half, particularly, we created chance after chance and should have put them to bed," admitted Coyle. "Their goalkeeper (Marton Fulop) was in inspired form but some of our play was terrific and those wins are just round the corner. "The fans stayed to the end and can see what we are trying to do. "Leicester had one shot on target and we were unfortunate not to get the win and are certainly moving in the right direction." Coyle has taken eight points in four unbeaten games since being appointed as successor to Steve Cotterill last month.
