Hull City boss Marco Silva believes his players lost their focus after taking the lead against relegation rivals Burnley.
Burnley, who were reduced to 10 men late on when Ashley Barnes was sent off, held on for a vital point away from home and Silva admits his side paid the price for a lack of concentration.
"We scored but afterwards it is impossible at this level to suffer a goal like we suffered from the corner," said Silva.
"We need to keep our focus always and in this moment we lost our focus and they scored.
"Of course if we'd won it would have been better but we won one more point and we need to continue."
Burnley midfielder George Boyd was lucky to escape a red card for a high tackle on Harry Maguire shortly after the half-time break.
Silva refused to comment on the incident but was quick to praise the performance of his central defender, who produced a man-of-the-match display for the Tigers.
"I didn't see," said Silva when asked about Boyd's challenge. "If you speak about Maguire, [he was] fantastic. He played maybe 70 minutes with an injury. He has fantastic behaviour, this is what I want.
"He is a fantastic boy, a fantastic player."
Norway international Omar Elabdellaoui limped off in the closing stages of the match and Silva admits he doesn't yet know the extent of the injury.
With Sam Clucas, Evandro Goebel and Lazar Markovic all currently sidelined, the Portuguese will be desperate to avoid any further injuries ahead of next weekend's trip to Leicester.
When asked if he had any more injury problems, Silva replied: "I hope not. The players need to rest and we'll see on Wednesday or Thursday how the players are."
