Albion boss Tony Pulis admitted the Baggies got out of jail after their comeback at Turf Moor.
After another slow start the Baggies were 2-0 down after 35 minutes when Ashley Barnes and Danny Inges gave the hosts the perfect start.
But after Chris Brunt’s goal on the stroke of half time, Albion managed to find an equaliser in the second half when Ideye Brown headed home.
Pulis admitted his half time team talk was watered down after Brunt’s goal but praised his side’s spirit to come from two goals down to earn a valuable point.
“We started like it was a Sunday morning stroll. It was a 12 o'clock kick-off and they looked like they were in bed,” said the Welshman.
"It was very slow, pedestrian. Burnley took great advantage. But they showed great commitment and deserved to be two goals up.
"The saving grace was the goal just before half time that gave us a lift.
"My words (at half-time) might have been harsher had Brunty not scored. The lads can take a lot from this.
"The main thing we can take is that we got something from the game so that's now one defeat in six since I came in."
