Burnley midfielder Josh Brownhill defended their tactics for Saturday's 2-2 draw at Leicester City.
The Clarets angered Leicester and the home crowd with their time wasting in Saturday's 2-2 draw.
“I think it is part and parcel of football," said the midfielder.
“You go through every game and whoever is winning is not going to speed things up.
“It is all about seeing the game out and for us we were not going to just get the ball back in and boot it up the pitch straight away because they have some quality.
“We wanted to calm the game down and take it at our pace and I think if it was the other way round I think everyone would do the same.
“I don't think we did it too bad because the referee would have probably booked players or the goalkeeper. It happens in football and you do anything to get that win and for us it is quite desperate at the minute."
