Burnley's Ross Wallace pleased with late goal

Burnley midfielder Ross Wallace describes his 96th-minute equaliser against Leicester City as one of the most important goals of his career.

Burnley midfielder Ross Wallace has said that his late equaliser at Leicester City on Saturday is one of the most significant goals of his career.

The Clarets looked set for a fourth defeat of the season at the King Power Stadium before Wallace's 96th-minute free kick earned them a 2-2 draw.

Wallace says that he had to hit the free kick perfectly to beat Foxes goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

"If I could have placed the ball anywhere that's where I would place it. It's the perfect spot for me, but lucky enough Schmeichel gave me a little room to hit and I managed to get it up and over the wall," he told the Lancashire Telegraph.

"As soon as I looked up and saw he was a yard or two over to the left hand post, there was only one thing. As long as you get it up and over the wall near enough to the corner it's in.

"It's one of those things that I practice and, to be fair, if you keep practicing and it happens on the big stage hopefully you get the goal."

Burnley return to action against West Ham United on October 18.
