CITY boss Mark Hughes has warned his team they must start sealing games once they get into winning positions.

The Blues are now on a run of five successive draws thanks to a 3-3 thriller against Burnley at Eastlands.

Although Hughes feels some represent a point gained, at Aston Villa for instance, others are definitely two dropped.

This afternoon's encounter definitely fell into the latter category after City had clawed their way back from two goals behind to lead 3-2 heading into the final stages - and it was a similar story a fortnight ago, when Fulham somehow managed to earn a point after finding themselves two adrift.

"It is frustrating and disappointing because we got ourselves into a winning position," complained Hughes.

"We have to learn to see games out because we have drawn two games at home from winning positions.

"Maybe it was a consequence of the effort we put in before that, because we worked exceptionally hard to get ourselves in front.

"But we did not do the right things at the right times.

"I would like to think we will get some credit for the way we came back but the late goal did take the edge off it.

"It is a poor result because we have come back from a situation most people probably thought was beyond us.

"We are 11 games into the season and we have done OK, no more, no less. There are times when we look what we are; a team coming together and trying to gel."
