Despite Burnley’s inability to defeat Luton Town, Vincent Kompany maintains there is no possibility he will concede defeat.
A victory would have dealt a blow to their nearest relegation opponent and thrust Burnley back into the survival race.
However, Carlton Morris’ contentious equalizer in stoppage time kept the Clarets in a painful 1-1 stalemate.
Despite the loss, Kompany is confident that his team will soon experience success and has urged his players to take the officiating dispute as inspiration to improve things.
“We’ll keep focusing on our own performance, to do what we have to do. To give ourselves a chance to stay up,” he said.
“To be honest at this moment in time I don’t want to draw these types of conclusions because it’s admitting defeat and I won’t do it.
“But it has to rally us, if anything. It has to rally us to be more united, more together, more willing to go the extra yard and not expect any favours from anyone.
