Zian Flemming's goal was his first for Burnley since joining from Millwall in August Burnley came back from a goal down to draw with Hull City and move back up to second in the Championship table. The home side took the lead just before the break when Xavier Simons' shot from 20 yards out took a deflection and beat a wrong-footed James Trafford in the Clarets' goal. Scott Parker's side improved in the second half and drew level when Zian Flemming powered in a header from Jaidon Anthony's cross to the back post. Anthony had a great chance to win it for the away side in time added on but miscued from close range after the ball broke to him from a goalmouth scramble. The point was enough to move Burnley back above Leeds on goal difference and stretched their unbeaten run to eight matches. Tim Walter's Tigers moved back up to 15th and put a stop to successive defeats. It had looked like the teams would go in level at the break after a largely uneventful first 45 minutes before Simons scored his first goal for Hull with the aid of a big deflection. Burnley, who had kept clean sheets in their four previous matches, have found goals hard to come by since bagging nine in their first two league games of the season and struggled to create a clear cut chance in East Yorkshire. That changed in the 77th minute when Anthony beat his man to stand up a cross to the back post for Dutchman Flemming to head home his first for the club. It could and perhaps should have been better for the Clarets but Anthony could not convert in the final moments with the goal seemingly at his mercy. Burnley welcome struggling QPR to Turf Moor on Saturday, while the Tigers visit Derby. Hull City boss Tim Walter told BBC Radio Humberside: "The first-half was brilliant and we had a lot of chances to score but at the end we made the wrong decisions. "They are top of the league and maybe have more individual quality than we do but what I saw was we have a team and they fought for each other. "I'm really proud of the boys, they behaved like a group, they behaved like a team and played like a team. (On being in the stands as he served a one-match suspension) "Maybe the people sitting near me got some enjoyment but I won't be doing it again. I've learned my lesson, it's one time and no more. " Burnley boss Scott Parker told BBC Radio Lancashire: "It was a real positive second half and we looked every bit the team I want us to look for 90 minutes. "The final details let us down in the first half and the game became scrappy and their goal summed that up. "I'm partly disappointed because we came here tonight looking for three points and I thought we deserved them. "This is a young team with a lot of new players and in the second half I saw a winning mentality and we are going to need that.
