BIRMINGHAM, England (Reuters) - Burnley moved out of the relegation zone following a 1-1 draw at Aston Villa on Thursday, keeping their Premier League survival in their own hands heading into the final day of the season.

A cool penalty by Burnley striker Ashley Barnes and several superb saves by keeper Nick Pope earned Mike Jackson's side a crucial point in their battle to survive as they climbed to 17th in the table on 35 points.
