In a high tempo start, Burnley fashioned the first big chance when Anass Zaroury latched onto a loose pass, only to be denied by Hayden Carter’s last ditch tackle. Ameen Al Dakhil then headed wastefully wide, but the tide soon turned and it was Blackburn battering away at the door.

After wasting numerous set pieces before the break, Sammie Szmodics nearly flicker a header home early in the second half but Clarets keeper Ari Muric kept it out. As tempers frayed, Burnley's Jack Cork was fortunate just to be cautioned for a reckless foul on Tyrhys Dolan, but then on 66 minutes Benson wrote his name in club folklore, just moments after replacing Vitinho da Silva.

And the away side held out amid a chaotic injury time period, which saw two pitch intruders hold up matters while Ashleigh Barnes survived a huge handball shout in his own box. After a series of Blackburn corners, the away fans erupted at the final whistle, as did Kompany as he ran on the pitch and embraced his players.

Burnley still have games away to Bristol City and home to Cardiff to come, and victories in both will seem them surpass the 100-point barrier. But fans will face an anxious summer, with their manager already linked with a move elsewhere, despite his refusal to address speculation.
