National League club Eastleigh have signed Wycombe Wanderers goalkeeper Scott Brown on a month-long loan deal.

Brown, 31, joins as cover for injured Ryan Clarke after playing just twice for Wycombe this season, most recently in the EFL Trophy on 9 November.
"Scott is an experienced keeper with a lot of Football League experience," manager Ronnie Moore told BBC Sport.
Brown joined the Chairboys in July following nine years at Cheltenham, where he made nearly 300 appearances.

Welsh Lib Dems would cut the basic rate of income tax to help "ordinary workers" once the power passes to Wales, its leader has said.

Kirsty Williams promised a costed plan to cut the 20% starting rate to 19%.
She said the Lib Dems had cut taxes for low and middle-income earners during the UK coalition government.
She denounced the Welsh Tories for promising to prioritise tax cuts for higher earners, and expected Labour and Plaid Cymru to defend the status quo.
During his Autumn Statement last Wednesday, Chancellor George Osborne said control of some of the income tax levied in Wales could be devolved without a referendum.
The sharing of tax powers between ministers in Cardiff and London would mean the Welsh government controlling ??3bn of taxes a year by 2020.


Pitiful scenes of cheetah cubs lying emaciated and bewildered highlight one of the cruellest but least-publicised examples of illegal wildlife trafficking.

Baby cheetahs are so prized as exotic pets that entire litters are seized from their mothers when they may only be four to six weeks old.
Each tiny animal can fetch as much as $10,000 on the black market and end up being paraded on social media by wealthy buyers in Gulf states.
But the trade exacts a terrible toll on a species that claims a superlative status as the fastest land animal on the planet but which now faces a serious threat to its survival.
According to the Cheetah Conservation Fund, some 1,200 cheetah cubs are known to have been trafficked out of Africa over the past 10 years but a shocking 85% of them died during the journey.
Dr Laurie Marker, the trust's director, describes the horrific conditions involved in shipping the animals from their habitats in northern Kenya, Somaliland and Ethiopia by land and sea to the Arabian Gulf.
"They're probably just thrown into a crate, living in their own faeces, travelling for days without proper food, and many of them end up dead on arrival at wherever that place would be, and maybe one or two living out of a pile that are dead."
And those that do make it into the hands of new owners usually die rapidly because they are denied the chance to exercise and are given an inadequate diet.
Dr Marker says that they're often kept in "chicken coop-sized pens" which are far too small for them.
"And this is an animal that is the fastest land animal that is used to living in huge home ranges of 800 sq km. Most of those cheetahs don't make it over a two-year period of time in captivity."
With the total of adult cheetahs living in the wild now numbering less than 7,000, the concern is that seizures of an estimated 200-300 a year could drive some of the remaining populations, which are already diminished, to extinction.
The poaching comes on top of the long-running destruction of the cheetahs' habitats. The animals tend not to thrive in the confines of national parks where other predators dominate, so they live outside protected areas and are more exposed to conflict with people.
The threat to the cheetah will be raised at the CITES COP17 conference being held in Johannesburg over the next fortnight.
One criticism of the conservation movement is that it has recently been doing a better job highlighting the plight of the giants of African wildlife, the elephants and the rhinos, compared with other iconic species whose existence is equally at risk.
As a vet working in Kuwait, Jill Mullen saw for herself how easily cheetah cubs were imported despite the existence of controls under the CITES convention.
Now back in the UK, she told me how her surgery would see as many as six cubs in a single day. All of them would be suffering from dehydration, malnutrition and a common virus known as panleukopenia against which the cubs have no immunity.
Usually, only one of the six would survive.
"I would stand on the soapbox to explain to the owners why it was wrong to have these animals as pets, that they're endangered in the wild, and are not designed to be kept in living rooms and in villas.
"But in the end I had to swallow the feeling that everything was wrong because that was my job."
Ms Mullen found that most owners did not know about the CITES restrictions or care about them.
"You have the car and the boat but nothing tops having an exotic pet and, if they can buy it, it doesn't matter about the legality."
During her time in Kuwait, there was an attempt by the authorities to clamp down, and vets like her were banned from handling cheetahs and other endangered animals. But she believes this drove the trade underground.
On the agenda in Johannesburg is a quest to raise awareness in buyer countries of the dangers the trade poses to the cheetah.
One idea is to persuade internet platforms to join the fight - many carry social media pictures taken by cheetah owners showing off their animals. Others allow dealers to offer cheetah cubs for sale.
Another initiative is to draw up plans for how to handle cheetahs if they are confiscated - if the authorities do get tough, large numbers may suddenly need to be housed.
Already when cheetahs become too big, or their owners find that they cannot care for them, the animals are released into the streets and found dead or weakened.
But there is a sense that time is not on the side of a species whose very fame may be the cause of its demise.
As Dr Marker puts it, "the cheetah is running the most important race of its life, and that's for its very survival and its survival is in human hands".


There was an immediate response to my recent remarks on the "Rethinking Economics" movement that has grown to prominence in many university economics departments in the past few years.

In particular, I focused on the way that the campaign was ignited when undergraduates (in Manchester and other places) expressed their disquiet about what they were being taught.
Notably, they complained about what they saw as the lack of engagement with the real world, and the financial crisis of 2008 and onwards.
Well, the people who do the teaching say I did not make it clear that they are also concerned about the teaching of economics, and they are taking action to change it.
Here's a follow up to my comments, from Wendy Carlin, professor of economics at University College London (UCL). She is leading a project called Core, standing for Curriculum Open-access Resources in Economics.
It is a group of people seeking to reform the undergraduate economics curriculum.
Andrew Haldane, chief economist to the Bank of England says: 'It is time to rethink some of the basic building blocks of economics."
He is not alone in saying so. Many professional and academic economists agree. And teachers of economics in universities all over the world are on the frontline of this reform.
The events of 2008-9 led economists - like everyone else - to reflect on the role the subject had played in creating the conditions for financial crisis.
It prompted efforts to broaden the curriculum, and question what had become an approach to teaching economics disconnected both from real-world problems and from current economic research.
One example is the Core project, involving academics and teachers around the world.
Since 2012 we have been at work creating a broader, less theoretical curriculum.
Students looking for economics teaching that deals with financial crises, the contributions of thinkers from Hayek to Marx, and issues like inequality, the environment and innovation, will find these subjects are already on our courses.
In the UK the Core course is being taught at universities including UCL, King's College London, the University of Bristol, and Birkbeck. Universities abroad such as Sciences Po in Paris, Sydney University, and Dartmouth College in the US are also using it.
Students also study Core in economics departments from Bangalore to Bogota, including 2,000 students on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean.
For many years economics textbooks and courses mostly excluded the experience of developing countries. For example, they omitted the importance of access to credit, or the economic role of co-operation as well as competition, partly because their textbooks were created in London or New York.
So our collaborators are not just translating the course into French, Spanish, Hindi and other languages; they are integrating local examples to make the course relevant to everyone who wants to study economics.
The solution to the problem of a narrow, abstract curriculum might seem obvious. But our experience holds some lessons for others working to the same end.
One is that it is not easy to create a coherent course encompassing "Marxism, Schumpeter, classical, Austrian, Keynesian, behavioural, developmental economics", while also teaching students how to use those ideas to solve practical problems, such as how to improve access to financial services for people on low incomes, or what the effect on the global economy of a decrease in the price of oil might be.
Another big obstacle to change, in our experience, is the dominance of a few prominent textbooks. Teachers short of time will use lecture material they are familiar with, and the automated tests provided by the publishers.
Getting them to shift to a new way of teaching economics - however gripping for students - will require excellent material, and also extras like test-banks to help lecturers make the switch.
We publish all our Core material online for free and provide resources for teachers and students. Students are among the creative voices telling us how we can do better: some are helping create the material we provide.
Our motto is: "Teaching economics as if the last three decades had happened."
Another obstacle to faster change, however, is that some economic and policy institutions - universities, government departments, central banks - are dominated by people who studied only, as Peter Day put it - "theoretical economic men or women who took rational, optimal, decisions".
Many see the need for change, although others do not, even after the financial crisis exposed the limitations of this approach.
The institutional barriers mean there is not a quick fix. But our work has already created a plural, practical, global economics course that produces better economists.
Many other economists are engaged in the same process of reform. Slow as it is, change is well under way.


The debate over privacy and security has become increasingly fractious in recent years but David Anderson has laid out a road map which may offer a way forward.

He does this by suggesting existing laws should be torn up - in other words RIP for Ripa, the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act.
But the issue ahead will be whether a delicate compromise can be fashioned which will survive in parliament.
In recent years, the police and spies have talked of their fears of going dark - losing the ability to listen in to criminals and terrorists as technology evolves.
Those concerned about privacy have contended that the danger is the other way - the state being able to see and hear too much about all of us, especially as the same technology moves more and more of our lives online.
During the last parliament, proposals to provide more powers in a Communications Data Bill were abandoned after being branded a "snooper's charter".
The Anderson report does not propose any major extension of government surveillance.
Some key elements of the Communications Data Bill are now in law - for instance resolution of IP addresses came in a counter-terror bill and data retention is now in place until current emergency laws end next year.
And Anderson - the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation - says a sufficient case has not been made for the most controversial of the past proposals - that logs of web-browsing activity be kept.
Anderson does argue that while new powers may not be needed, the current powers are necessary in order to pursue not just terrorists, but a range of criminals and ensure that there are not any "no-go" areas for the state to protect citizens.
But to keep these powers, he says that stricter additional safeguards are needed.
The report is critical of the lack of transparency and the current safeguards pointing to gaps in oversight and a lack of public understanding.
The Edward Snowden revelations led to disclosure of the way in which GCHQ carried out bulk interception of data.
The Anderson report is unusual in including an annexe which gives examples of how intercepted communications and GCHQ's use of bulk data have played a role in a number of investigations.
In a recent Intelligence and Security Committee report on the same subject, such examples were redacted.
Anderson argues that bulk collection of data is not mass surveillance, as critics have charged, and is useful in "target discovery" - finding people who may then be made the subject of more intrusive interception powers.
But he argues the bulk collection of material requires "strict additional safeguards" with warrants being signed by a judge and a tighter definition of the purpose and targeting.
There is also a call for much greater transparency of the kinds of powers and capabilities that agencies like GCHQ are using.
This "avowal" of capabilities (although not the specific operations in which they are used) may prove challenging to GCHQ who have historically (until Edward Snowden came along) thrived on ambiguity about their reach.
Much - but perhaps not all - has been exposed already by Edward Snowden but the agencies have still resisted, until recently, openly confirming they carry out actions like computer hacking.
Anderson suggests hacking (or to give it its proper name Computer Network Exploitation) will become far more widespread by the state in order to overcome the spread of encryption technology.
One interesting line is that the police consider it "inevitable" that they will need to carry out hacking themselves.
The most politically tricky aspect of the Anderson proposals is likely to be the shift towards judges and not ministers signing warrants.
Civil liberty and privacy activists have long called for a greater role for the judiciary (and the report notes this is the model followed by Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the US) but both ministers and intelligence agencies may be initially reluctant to weaken the bond in which a politically accountable figure is made personally responsible.
Investigatory powers explained
The prime minister is thought to be more in favour of such radical change than some of the ministers who normally sign the warrants.
The spies may not be keen but also recognise that change needs to come if they want to maintain public confidence and what some call their 'licence to operate'.
Intercept is estimated to be 15%-20% of the total intelligence picture in counter-terrorism investigations, according to Home Office evidence to the report.
However, its relative value is declining as targets become more aware and encryption becomes more widespread.
The report says public authorities should not be shut out from places where they need need access to keep the public safe but there is no proposal in the report for legislating to ensure "back doors" and government access to encryption technology.
Comments by the prime minister before the election were interpreted as suggesting such a move might be on the agenda.
David Anderson says he heard no calls for such powers from the spies.
Information from social media is becoming more important.
According to the report, a snapshot of recent prosecutions for terrorist offices concluded that in 26 recent cases, 23 could not have been pursued without communications data and in 11 the conviction depended on that data.
One of the main reasons for the shift to judicial authorisation, Anderson says, is not just public confidence but the views of Silicon Valley.
In the past, intercepting communications involved asking a UK telephone provider to tap a line but now people often communicate using apps made by companies in the US - this has been especially evident in recent years in cases involving people going to Iraq and Syria or communicating with those out there.
Those companies have not considered themselves subject to UK law (despite Britain's claims they are) and so their co-operation is voluntary.
Anderson argues that they are more likely to co-operate with a warrant if it is signed by a judge and not a minister.
While there are normally nearly 3,000 intercept warrants in a year, there are typically around 500,000 requests for communications data - this covers who might have called whom on a phone or who owns a phone or other aspects of communications but not including the content of what is said or written.
The report says this kind of communications data is vital and used in investigating almost all serious crime.
However, Anderson argues for clearer definitions of what such data consists of and more independence for those who provide the authorisation within organisations.
Overall, Anderson has constructed a careful package of measures which might keep the different sides on board.
However, privacy groups will watch carefully to see how far the law which ends up being proposed is actually based on his report or if some things - like judicial warrant signing - are taken out and other things - like increased capabilities - are put in.
This report has moved the debate forward but it is still not over.


Lib Dem leader Tim Farron has said "people not politicians" should have the final say over the terms of Brexit.

Launching his party's manifesto, he said Brexit would have an impact "for decades to come" and the public should have the right to decide whether to go ahead with it in another referendum.
Leaving the EU single market was a "time bomb" which could "take down the NHS and schools" with it, he warned.
He told party supporters in London that the Lib Dems would not "roll over".
The Lib Dems' promise of a vote on the final Brexit deal, the centrepiece of its general election offer, would include an option to remain in the EU.
Mr Farron said the public had the choice to "change Britain's future", insisting that while he accepted the result of last year's EU referendum, he still believed the UK would be "better off and safer" within the EU.
While those who voted to leave the EU were "good, decent people", he said the Tories' approach since then had turned the UK's "friends, allies and neighbours into enemies" while Labour had "lost its purpose".
"Don't let anyone tell you the only choice at this election is between Jeremy Corbyn and Theresa May.
"The election is about your future... The more Lib Dem MPs you elect, the better deal we will get in Europe."
As well as another EU vote, the Lib Dems have pledged to reverse billions' worth of benefit cuts and pump billions of pounds into schools and the NHS in England.
To pay for the measures, they would add 1p to income tax, restore corporation tax to 20%, scrap the married couples' tax allowance and lower the level at which inheritance tax kicks in.
The Conservatives said many Lib Dem policies were "near-identical" to those put forward by Labour and would lead to higher taxes and borrowing.
On the economy, the party says it would balance day-to-day spending while reducing national debt as a proportion of GDP.
But there is no repeat of the pledge to abolish university tuition fees - the promise the party controversially abandoned when it entered coalition with the Conservatives in 2010.
In its manifesto, the party said the "fairer" system established by the coalition had led to record university application rates.
The party, which is hoping to gather support from Remain-backing voters, believes there is no deal that could be as good as continuing EU membership and would campaign to stay in, cancelling Brexit.
Mr Farron told the BBC that Brexit represented "the biggest fight for the future of our country in a generation".
"If you don't like the deal you should be able to reject it and choose to remain in Europe."
The party, which served in government with the Conservatives between 2010 and 2015, is hoping to bounce back from its disastrous showing two years ago, when it lost almost 50 seats and was left with just eight MPs.
It has ruled out striking any coalition deals after next month's election.
It is pledging to reinstate housing benefit for 18-21 year olds, axed by the government last month, and is promoting a rental scheme under which people can build up equity with every monthly payment and eventually own their property outright after 30 years.
The plan, first mooted by the party back in 2015, envisages developers and housing associations building thousands of new homes. development bank. The total capital investment in the initiative, part of the Lib Dems' plans to build 300,000 new homes a year will be £3bn by 2022.
It will offer a bus pass discount on single and return tickets which would be available to all 16-21 year olds ordinarily resident in England, and has promised to scrap all diesel cars by 2025.
They also say they could generate £1bn from legalising and taxing cannabis. The Lib Dems say they would regulate and tax the drug - introducing limits on potency and banning sales to under-18s.
The Lib Dems have already pledged to protect per-pupil funding in England, which will cost £7bn over five years. In the manifesto it is going further, saying it will extend free school meals to all primary schools and triple funding for the early years pupil premium, boosting it to £1,000.
The party has also sought to play down remarks made by Mr Farron 10 years ago, reported in the Guardian, in which he reportedly said abortion was "wrong" and called for the law to be tightened.
Speaking to the Today programme, Lib Dem election spokesman Sir Ed Davey said Mr Farron had since changed his mind and made it clear he was pro-choice.
"We wouldn't change the law," he added.
Conservative Party chairman Sir Patrick McLoughlin said the Lib Dems would increase taxes on family homes and get rid of the Right to Buy scheme for council and social housing tenants.
"From increasing taxes to borrowing more these policies are an echo of Jeremy Corbyn's manifesto we saw earlier this week," he said.
The Green Party said it agreed with the Lib Dems' position on a second referendum but Tim Farron's party had "betrayed" young people over tuition fees and would not easily win their trust back.
Leave Means Leave, the pro-Brexit campaign group, said the Lib Dem stance was "unpatriotic and anti-democratic" and the party risked being "relegated to the obscure fringes of British politics".
The SNP suggested Lib Dem voters in Scotland were switching to them in growing numbers because they understood it was impossible for Scotland to stay in the EU while remaining in the UK.
The CBI welcomed the Lib Dems' focus on education and housing but said proposed increases to corporation tax and opposition to Heathrow expansion would not benefit business.

More than 80 MPs and peers have urged the man carrying out an inquiry into UK media standards not to recommend a press regulation law.

The cross-party group, including eight former cabinet ministers and London Olympics chairman Lord Coe, says any such move would damage press freedom.
Lord Justice Leveson is due to publish his report on Thursday.
The group, which has written to the Guardian and the Daily Telegraph, wants a stronger "self-regulatory" system.
The Leveson Inquiry was established by the prime minister in July last year and looked into the culture, practices and ethics of the press.
It was commissioned following allegations of illegal phone-hacking at the News of the World.
Prime Minister David Cameron, who has already warned politicians not to pre-empt its findings, will receive his copy of the report at lunchtime on Wednesday - 24 hours before its details are made public.
Full list of signatories
Lord Justice Leveson was asked to produce a list of recommendations for a more effective policy and regulatory regime for the press, which would preserve its independence while encouraging higher ethical and professional standards.
At the moment the press is self-regulated through the Press Complaints Commission (PCC).
Lord Justice Leveson is widely expected to recommend some form of statutory regulation overseen by an independent body.
But the politicians, led by former Labour home secretary David Blunkett and Conservative MP Conor Burns, argue in their letter this could be detrimental to free speech, saying: "As parliamentarians, we believe in free speech and are opposed to the imposition of any form of statutory control even if it is dressed up as underpinning."
They add: "No form of statutory regulation of the press would be possible without the imposition of state licensing - abolished in Britain in 1695. State licensing is inimical to any idea of press freedom and would radically alter the balance of our unwritten constitution.
"There are also serious concerns that statutory regulation of the print media may shift the balance to the digital platforms which, as recent events have shown through the fiasco of Newsnight-Twitter, would further undermine the position of properly moderated and edited print journalism."
The group - which includes Commons culture media and sport committee chairman John Whittingdale, Downton Abbey writer Lord Fellowes, former Commons Speaker Baroness Boothroyd and ex-cabinet ministers Lord Tebbit, Liam Fox, John Redwood and Peter Lilley - has written to the Guardian and the Daily Telegraph,
It backs a proposal from former PCC chairman Lord Hunt and Lord Black, one-time chairman of the body that finances the commission, for a "totally new" version of the regulator.
They propose an independent body with increased powers to investigate complaints and illegal behaviour, levy fines of up to Â£1m and award compensation, and enforce membership by newspapers for the first time.
By Nick RobinsonPolitical editor
Some campaigners say the current system of self-regulation, overseen by the Press Complaints Commission, is inadequate and that tougher rules are needed to curb newspapers' excesses.
Earlier this month, 42 Conservative MPs and peers wrote to the Guardian arguing in favour of some form of statutory underpinning for press regulation.
Broadcaster Anne Diamond, who gave evidence to the Leveson Inquiry about her experience with the press, told BBC Breakfast that "self-regulation has been given its chance and it hasn't worked".
"The only way to have some real teeth behind some agreed code of conduct is to have some kind of statutory underpinning... You have to change the culture and the enforcement."
The actor Hugh Grant, who has been campaigning for stricter press regulation, told Breakfast: "What people are campaigning for is an end to newspapers being able to regulate themselves... because that is what has resulted in the kind of abuses of people like the Dowlers, the McCanns, Christopher Jefferies."
He added: "The only industry in this country which is allowed to regulate itself is the newspaper industry... We need a proper regulator, an independent regulator, meaningful, that will need some statute to oblige newspapers to sign up to it."
Martin Moore, director of the Media Standards Trust charity, said the challenge for Lord Justice Leveson was to balance the need for some sort of redress for "ordinary people" with freedom of the press.
It is up to David Cameron to decide whether to implement Lord Justice Leveson's recommendations.
Downing Street has said the prime minister was "open-minded" about the future regulation. Previously he said he intended to implement the findings of the Leveson inquiry, provided they were not "bonkers".
But the BBC's political editor Nick Robinson says the coalition is preparing for the possibility that it may be divided by the report's recommendations, with Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg less likely to be hostile to Lord Justice Leveson's proposals.


Celebrity fans of the actress Zsa Zsa Gabor have shared tributes online after her death at the age of 99.

Gabor was the quintessential Hollywood bombshell in her 1950s heyday - nine times married, and hilarious with it.
Socialite Paris Hilton - the great granddaughter of Gabor's second husband Conrad Hilton - posted a photo of the couple with a tribute:
"Sad to hear the news of Zsa Zsa Gabor's passing. My great grandfather and her made such a beautiful couple."
Burlesque icon Dita Von Teese shared a beautiful black and white shot on Instagram, writing: "Another Hollywood legend has left us, the glamorous Zsa Zsa Gabor, one of the wittiest beauties of all time!"
"I love all her hilarious quotes about love, but this one is a favourite: 'Being jealous of a beautiful woman is not going to make you more beautiful'."
Hollywood actor Antonio Banderas also chose a winsome black and white picture, captioned simply: "RIP" with the hashtag #Zsazsagabor
US chat show host Larry King said of the star: "There will only be one Zsa Zsa Gabor. And I liked her a lot. Rest In Peace, my dear."
Actress Barbara Eden, who starred in 1960s sitcom I Dream of Jeannie, tweeted: "Rest in peace Zsa Zsa Gabor. She and her sisters were lovely ladies who were always fun and delightful to be around."
Game of Thrones actress Gwendoline Christie called the socialite "fabulous" and "unmistakable", making the point with a picture of Gabor posing in a giant confection of a hat.
She also posted a link to a 1994 sketch where comic and TV host David Letterman drove Gabor around in a soft-top car ordering huge amounts of fast food.
The star, then in her late 70s, is seen cackling delightedly over McDonalds drive-thru fries, before visiting a range of other eateries including KFC, Burger King, and Taco Bell.
Joking about her age, Letterman tells a server: "You ever see that Jurassic Park movie? She used to have those animals as pets!" - at which the perfectly-coiffed Gabor falls about laughing.
British director Michael Winner, who worked with Gabor on the 1976 film Won Ton Ton: The Dog Who Saved Hollywood, once said her greatest role was playing herself.
Speaking before his death in 2013, he remarked: "She played Zsa Zsa Gabor the actress in real life.
"I thought she had great wit and charm. She was a perfectly reasonable actress. Not a great actress - but she was perfect in those early comedies.
"She played a glamorous Hungarian. She wouldn't have been able to play Juliet, or be in Hamlet, but was perfect for those films.
"Her private life is the equal to those characters in soap operas today - but they do not hold a candle to her. Compared to Zsa Zsa Gabor they are just empty shells."


Burnley secured their fifth consecutive home Premier League win with victory over Leicester at Turf Moor, thanks to Sam Vokes' late goal.

The Clarets dominated for long spells but routinely failed to hit the target until substitute Vokes hooked in Michael Keane's knock-down from a corner in the 87th minute.
The ball hit Vokes' hand before he turned to score but referee Mike Dean dismissed Leicester's appeals for the goal to be disallowed.
Claudio Ranieri's side remain without an away Premier League win this season - they also failed to score for a fourth consecutive league game.
The Foxes now have the worst record after 23 games by a reigning top-flight title-winning club, eclipsing the Ipswich side of 1962-63.
Burnley's first victory over Leicester since August 2010 also means Sean Dyche's side have won a fifth straight home top-flight game for the first time since 1966.
Burnley showed once again why they are imposing hosts, with Arsenal's defeat to Watford ensuring the Clarets now have the third-best home record in the Premier League behind Chelsea and Tottenham as they moved ninth overall.
Although their away form remains poor - like Leicester they are yet to win on the road this season - their combination of defensive solidity and the attacking options provided by Andre Gray, Ashley Barnes and Vokes at home could steer them to guaranteed safety this season before long.
They had luck on their side here too, with Dean and his assistants ruling that Vokes did not intentionally handle the ball as Keane's header fell to him, a decision that will continue to incense Leicester.
Yet in truth, the Clarets should not have had to rely on such a scrappy goal. They were profligate in front of the net, with only three shots on target out of 24 as Gray drew two solid saves from Foxes keeper Kasper Schmeichel.
Record-signing Robbie Brady was unveiled to the home crowd at half-time, with Ashley Westwood also arriving on a busy transfer deadline day for Dyche's side, who now look to have the strength in depth to ensure their survival.
Leicester have now suffered three straight Premier League defeats for the first time under Ranieri, marking the lowest ebb of the Italian's reign.
The outline of that thrilling title-winning team remains, with Riyad Mahrez looking bright at times on his first start since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations and Jamie Vardy's pace causing Burnley problems. But too often they are simply chasing shadows.
In the 21st minute, Vardy raced onto Matthew Lowton's loose back-pass only to fire a dreadful effort off at a right-angle and out for a throw-in, while Robert Huth and Wes Morgan were menaced by Burnley striker Gray. That wastefulness and defensive frailty were not evident last year.
A 2-0 win over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light in April during that dizzying run to the title was the last time Leicester won away in the Premier League, in a season where they topped both the home and away tables.
The Foxes are now firmly at the other end, just two points above the relegation zone and desperately looking for answers, with Leonardo Ulloa's dispute with Ranieri perhaps hinting at further problems behind the scenes.

Rightly or wrongly, much of the discussion of this game will again centre on the performance of referee Dean, in particular his decision to allow Vokes' late winner to stand.
The ball undoubtedly struck the Wales striker's hand, but Dean either did not see it or adjudged Vokes' movement towards the ball not to be intentional.
"It was a handball - it was for everybody, for the television, but not for the referee," said Ranieri.
Although the most significant moment, that late decision will not be the only one debated.
Dean, who has awarded the most penalties of any referee this season, judged that Burnley keeper Tom Heaton did not foul Vardy in the area on either of their two collisions.
Burnley will feel they also deserved a penalty before the break for a push by Danny Drinkwater on Keane, but Dyche was unwilling to dwell on Dean afterwards.
"If we did get a scratch of luck people wouldn't say it was underserved as we've had a few things go against us this season," said Dyche.
Burnley boss Sean Dyche said: "I'm very pleased and we deserved it - we were constantly knocking on the door against a good side.
"We finally broke them down and scored a good goal to win it - I think it comes off Sam Vokes' stomach first then his hand but you could suggest we could've had a penalty - there was a nudge in Michael Keane's back.
"We want Ashley Westwood and Robbie Brady to add to the quality of the team, we just wanted to bolster the group, while Joey Barton is applying himself well, as he always has done at this club."

Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri said: "The referee is the boss, he didn't see it and we lost - in this moment everything is wrong against us, including the decision of the referee.
"We have a problem scoring goals and we conceded a goal and we have to react.
"Our target from the beginning is 40 points and we have to fight from this point."

Manager Mark Robins says Coventry's Checkatrade Trophy final victory over Oxford at Wembley was a "phenomenal" way to show the football world that the Sky Blues are "alive and kicking".

League One's bottom club are 13 points adrift of safety with six games to play, starting with Wednesday's trip to leaders Sheffield United.
"We know the reality of it," Robins told BBC Sport after Sunday's 2-1 win.
"Results didn't go our way on Saturday, but we'll keep fighting."
Robins, who returned for a second spell as Coventry manager in March, added: "We're trying to stave it off for as long as we can. After we've celebrated this, we've got to go to Bramall Lane on Wednesday and then face Peterborough at home next Saturday.
"But this was really important for us as a club. We've shown the football world we're alive and kicking."
About 43,000 Coventry fans watched their Wembley success and Robins continued: "The supporters are a massive part of this football club and this was a great day for all of them.
"To see the amount that turned up, with that much passion, surpasses anything I've done in football. The experience was phenomenal. The noise was tremendous. Both sets of fans were really good.
"It gives everybody a reminder that we have a really good fan base with so much potential. We just have to harness it."
Robins revealed after the game that the Sky Blues' opening goalscorer Gael Bigirimana was close to missing his moment of glory - only the Burundi-born midfielder's second goal for the club on his 74th appearance.
"His wife gave birth to their first child on Saturday, a little girl called Eden," said Robins. "He was missing on Saturday and he was touch and go.
"Our preparations were further hampered when we lost Callum Reilly with a hamstring injury. He was better on Saturday and I might have risked him, in the hope that he'd get through on adrenaline, but he'd not have lasted the 90 minutes.
"Chris Stokes hadn't played much of late so there was a question of whether he could get though the game and Jordan Willis has had a thigh strain and there was a doubt whether he could last 90 minutes.
"Extra time would have been horrendous for us, which is why I was so grateful to Lee Burge for making his late save."


A hug between a man and a woman may not raise eyebrows in some cultures, but reactions in northern Nigeria to one of their favourite actresses engaging in such affectionate behaviour have been full of rage.

Rahama Sadau's appearance in a music video where she was hugged by Nigerian pop star Classiq has led to her being banned from the Hausa-language film industry, known as Kannywood.
The industry body, the Motion Picture Practitioners Association of Nigeria (Moppan), was responding to comments from many people including other Hausa actors.
One of them, Nura Hussain, took to Instagram holding a sign calling for Ms Sadau's punishment. The picture got hundreds of comments supporting his demand.
In Hausa culture, any open show of romance is frowned upon, and this was where Ms Sadau slipped up.
But the actress also has her fans, some of whom have tried to fight back on social media setting up online groups to show their support.
She herself has apologised to anyone she may have offended, but described what she did as "innocuous touching".
And she seems less than remorseful, posting repeatedly on Snapchat a photo of herself being hugged by a man on her recent visit to India, where she was when the row erupted.
A typical Kannywood film:
As the film opens parents are seen discussing who their successful city-dwelling son should marry. They decide on a cousin who they deem meets all their expectations of a good wife.
But there's a hitch, their urban, and urbane, son is in love with an educated city lady. He wants to marry her.
The family confronts their son with their choice of wife for him. The dispute generates tension and finally the parents force their son to marry the cousin.
He goes through with the wedding but stays in touch with his preferred partner. They go on romantic outings during which he mentions his loveless marriage.
Throughout the film, dancing and singing punctuate the action. If there is to be any suggestion of sex, the screen will go dark.
Ms Sadau speaks some Hindi, like many fans of Bollywood films in the mainly Muslim northern Nigeria where Indian cinema has been appreciated for years for its conservative values.
Kannywood, which took off around 2000, is similar but more restrained.
Its films would never go as far as Classiq's music video and show a man and a woman hugging, but even scenes showing young people expressing love towards each other have been deemed offensive by some.
But this controversy has not emerged in a vacuum.
Anger towards Kannywood actors and films has been building up for some time in Nigeria and the industry has been on the defensive.
Islamic clerics in the north blame them for spreading immorality and bringing it into the home. Ms Sadau's video appearance proved their point.
Parents say the films and the antics of the actors divert their children's attention from more important things.
The recent problems can be traced back to 2010 when a video was leaked of a Hausa actress having sex with her boyfriend.
Criticism from clerics has not let up.
Earlier this year the government cancelled plans to build state-of-the-art film facilities in Kano state - from where the industry gets its name - after pressure from religious leaders, who said it would promote immorality.
This is why the industry is keen to see that it is upholding a strict ethical code.
And it appears as if Ms Sadau has been made an example of.
Moppan said it hoped the ban would serve as a deterrent to other actors and actresses who are "expected to be good ambassadors of the society they represent".
Its chairman, Muhammadu Kabiru Maikaba, told the BBC Hausa service that this "was not the first time that she has been doing these wayward things. We have been warning her, but she still went ahead to dent out image".
What has happened to her has grabbed the attention as she is currently one of the best known faces of Kannywood.
She emerged in 2013, featuring in films alongside the industry's big names, and became famous for being adventurous and daring in her films
Her profile was raised further following commercial endorsements from various companies.
In 2015, she was embroiled in a row after she accused popular actor Adam Zango of sexual harassment.
Mr Zango denied the accusation.
But this year's row may have topped that as she has come in for some vitriolic abuse.
Some of Ms Sadau's defenders have said that she is being picked on because she is a woman.
They point to pictures of Kannywood actors where they are seen hugging women and argue that they have not been castigated in a similar manner.
The actress has urged people to calm down and said that people should be "more tolerant and forgiving towards one another and to cease the senseless abuse, name calling and backbiting".
But this row, whatever the outcome, is unlikely to be the last time that morality and ethics get debated when it comes to Kannywood movies.
With the proliferation of satellite channels showing Hausa films and smartphones on which people can download clips the battle between the vanguards of morality and Kannywood may have only just begun.


A lake in California is being searched by police investigating last week's shootings in San Bernardino, in which 14 people were killed.

Divers from the FBI began searching the waters of Seccombe Lake Park, two miles (3km) from the site of the attack.
The two suspects are thought to have visited the park on the day of the shooting, an FBI spokesman said.
The attack is being investigated as an act of terror, the deadliest in the US since 9/11.
Tashfeen Malik and husband Syed Farook opened fire at a workplace event for Farook's colleagues, killing 14 and wounding 22.
Who were the attackers?
San Bernardino shooting: The victims
The couple, who officials say became radicalised some years ago, were both killed in a shoot-out with police hours after the attack.
Addressing reporters at the park on Thursday, the FBI declined to specify what the divers were looking for.
"We have indications through leads that at some point they came to this park," said David Bowdich, assistant director in charge of the Los Angeles field office of the FBI.
US media quoted law enforcement sources as saying they are looking for electronic devices, including a computer hard drive, linked to the shooters.
Earlier on Thursday, FBI Director James Comey and other senior US officials briefed members of Congress on the investigation, behind closed doors.
Concerns have been raised by some US politicians about how the couple were not picked up by intelligence officials as potential suspects.
American officials have said the pair discussed martyrdom and jihad as early as 2013, yet Malik was able to enter the US on a fiancee visa last year.
"Everyone's asking the same questions about how it is that law enforcement didn't know, or intelligence officials didn't know, that they could have flown under the radar and nothing gave an indication that they were a threat," said Jim Langevin, a member of the House Homeland Security Committee.
A service was held for Yvette Velasco, the first victim of the shooting to be buried, in West Covina, California.
Malik reportedly pledged allegiance to Islamic State militants on social media on the day of the attack.
According to a new poll by New York Times and CBS, the shooting has raised the fear of terror among Americans to its highest level since 9/11.


AC Milan ended Chievo's 12-match unbeaten home run to move up to third place in Serie A with a fourth win in five games.

Juraj Kucka put Milan ahead just before half-time with a 25-yard shot into the top corner before M'Baye Niang drove home the second in the 46th minute.
Ex-Milan midfielder Valter Birsa curled home a free-kick to pull a goal back.
But Dario Dainelli's own goal in injury-time sealed the win for Milan, who last lost to Chievo in 2005.
Chievo, who would have gone third in the table themselves with a victory, had failed to score in their five previous home games against Milan in a barren run stretching back to 2011.
Birsa's third goal of the season ended that sequence but Milan would have won more comfortably but for fine second-half saves from Stefano Sorrentino, who kept out a Niang free-kick and denied Gianluca Lapadula a first Serie A goal.
Sorrentino was finally beaten again in stoppage time when a wayward shot from Carlos Bacca hit Dainelli and rebounded into the net as Milan moved to within five points of league leaders Juventus.

Islamic State (IS) militants have tightened their grip on the centre of the Iraqi city of Ramadi after repelling an advance by government forces.

Reports say the militants now control at least 60% of the city.
However, air strikes have forced them to pull back from a key government compound where they raised their black flags on Friday.
Ramadi is capital of the country's largest province, Anbar.
The BBC's Ahmed Maher in Baghdad says IS fighters have entrenched their positions around residential districts after beating back Iraqi forces backed up by three regiments sent as reinforcements.
If the entire city were to fall, it would be a major blow to the government, he adds, being just 100km (60 miles) from Baghdad.
IS and Iraqi troops have been battling for months to take control of strategically important Anbar province.
Earlier, the Iraqi army said it had sent three regiments to areas surrounding the city.
Iraqi military spokesman Brig Gen Saad Maan Ibrahim also told Iraqi state television that the US-led coalition had been supporting Iraqi troops with "painful" air strikes since late on Friday.
High-profile Iraqi officials have made several statements to the press and on social media, admitting that the situation is dire, our correspondent says.
It is a sign of how worried the government is, and of how serious the situation on the ground has become, our correspondent added.
The IS assault on the government compound on Friday involved as many as six suicide car bombs. At least 10 police officers were killed, while another 50 were reported to have been taken prisoner.
In response, US Vice-President Joe Biden pledged to deliver heavy weaponry, including shoulder-held rocket launchers and additional ammunition, as well as supplies to the Iraqi forces.
The heavily Sunni province of Anbar covers a vast stretch of the country west from the capital Baghdad to the Syrian border, and contains key roads that link Iraq to both Syria and Jordan.
Iraq's prime minister pledged in April that his forces would "liberate" Anbar from IS after the success of re-taking the central city of Tikrit.


A Malaysian oil tanker has not been hijacked as earlier reported, but taken to Indonesia by its own crew, officials in both countries say.

The MT Vier Harmoni, carrying 900,000 litres of diesel, is being searched in Batam Island, Indonesia.
Indonesian Navy spokesman Edi Sucipto said the confusion was due to an "internal management problem". Malaysia also said it was an "internal dispute".
The tanker was reported missing off Kunatan port, Malaysia, on Monday.
Its cargo is reportedly worth about 1.57m ringgit ($392,795; Â£300,000).
The head of the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency said the dispute between the operator and the crew  had been resolved but he did not outline what had happened to the ship's oil cargo, or whether it would sail back to Malaysia.


A white officer who killed a black man after apparently mistakenly grabbing his gun instead of his Taser has turned himself in to police.

Robert Bates, 73, has been charged with manslaughter for killing Eric Harris, 44, during a sting operation over gun sales in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
His lawyer said the charges were "unwarranted" as he and Mr Bates left the police station.
His client was released on a $25,000 (Â£16,900) bond.
Mr Bates served as a reserve deputy in Tulsa County Sheriff's office, a volunteer position, since 2008.
He is also chief executive of an insurance firm and a major donor to the Sheriff's office.
The manslaughter charge carries a prison sentence of up to four years if Mr Bates is convicted.
A video of the 2 April incident, released at the request of the victim's family, shows Mr Harris being chased and brought to ground before he is shot.
A gunshot is heard and a man says, "Oh, I shot him. I'm sorry."
Mr Harris is heard calling out "He shot me, oh my God!"
He later died in hospital.
It was the second time in a week a videotaped fatal shooting of a black man has provoked an outcry.
Last week Walter Scott, an unarmed 50-year-old, was shot in the back and killed in South Carolina.
The protests that followed that incident continued months of demonstrations about police use of force, ever since a black unarmed teenager was shot dead in Ferguson, Missouri, last summer.

Police investigating the murder of County Monaghan teenager Jason McGovern in Omagh have arrested a fifth person.

It is believed Jason McGovern, 19, of Tydavnet, was punched at a pub on John Street on Sunday.
He was hit a short time later at Cunningham Terrace car park and later died.
Detectives from the PSNI's Serious Crime branch arrested a 21-year-old man on Friday.
A 19-year-old man from the Omagh area was arrested on Thursday evening.  Hours earlier, police detained a 17-year-old boy from town.
Two others were arrested on Wednesday.
The men, aged 18 and 21, were also detained in Omagh and the teenager is still being questioned.
The 21-year-old arrested on Wednesday has since been released on bail.
After being attacked, Mr McGovern made his way to a friend's house in Mullan village near Emyvale in County Monaghan where he was found dead on Monday.
The investigation is being led by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) and supported by the Garda Siochana.
A post mortem examination showed the teenager's death had been due to a head injury he suffered during the initial assault.


Kenya is mourning 148 people killed in Thursday's al-Shabab attack on Garissa university campus, amid questions over why warnings were ignored.

Kenyan newspapers say there was intelligence information of an imminent attack on a school or university.
Locals question why security was not heightened, with only two guards on duty at the time of the attack.
Four more people have been found alive on the campus, but two are suspects and have been arrested, sources say.
One is said to be a Tanzanian national with no known links to the university.
All the bodies have been removed from the scene, Kenya's interior minister Joseph Nkaiserry said. Most of the victims were students, but three police officers and three soldiers were also killed, he added.
Police in neighbouring Uganda say they have received information suggesting a similar attack is being planned there.
Security services appear to have had some information that an attack on an institution of higher learning was in the offing and appear to have warned institutions to be careful, the Daily Nation newspaper reports.
It says the University of Nairobi warned its students on 25 March that it had received intelligence information about a possible attack on a university and asked them to be vigilant.
Locals in Garissa, a city about 150km from the Somali border, also question why security was not boosted in light of the intelligence.
"It's because of laxity by the government that these things are happening. For something like this to happen when there are those rumours is unacceptable," said Mohamed Salat, 47, a Somali Kenyan businessman.
One of the survivors, who hid in bushes during the assault, said the students had raised security issues late last year, but only two armed guards had been provided. Another said the gunmen appeared to know the site well.
One witness told the BBC she heard the gunman receiving instructions on mobile phones, and speaking in Swahili, an official language in Kenya - raising the possibility the attackers were locals and not from Somalia, al-Shabab's heartland.
A dusk to dawn curfew has now been imposed in Garissa and three nearby counties.
In his address to the nation after the attack, President Uhuru Kenyatta said he had instructed the police chief to speed up the training of 10,000 recruits, because Kenya had "suffered unnecessarily due to shortage of security personnel".
Al-Shabab was also blamed for the Westgate Mall massacre in Nairobi in 2013 in which 67 people died.
President Barack Obama has expressed his condolences, saying "words cannot adequately condemn" what had happened.
The UN too expressed its outrage, paying tribute to Kenya's role in the African Union's mission in neighbouring Somalia against al-Shabab.
The bodies of those killed in Garissa have been flown to the capital Nairobi for identification, as the local mortuaries have been unable to cope, and many of the students killed came from other parts of the country.
The masked attackers killed two security guards at dawn on Thursday, then rampaged through campus, shooting and shouting "we are al-Shabab".
They singled out Christians and shot them, witnesses said.
At the scene: Wanyama wa Chebusiri, BBC Africa, Garissa:
A second-year student who hid for 10 hours in a wardrobe is one of about 500 survivors still being held at a military facility, where they are undergoing counselling.
Her father drove for four hours from Nairobi when he was unable to get hold of her during the siege.
He told the BBC about his desperate search for his daughter at the mortuary, hospital and military airstrip.
Late in the afternoon, when he had almost given up hope, he got a text: "Dad call me". They have yet to be reunited but his relief is palpable.
Who are the victims?
Eyewitnesses describe attack
Why is al-Shabab targeting Kenya?
While many of the survivors spoke to the media, little is known so far about those who were killed.
The BBC's Frenny Jowi says Kenyan media are cautious in their coverage because of a new anti-terror law that stipulates heavy fines for material "likely to cause fear".
Garissa university campus
1. Militants enter the university grounds, two guards are shot dead
2. Shooting begins within the campus
3. Students attacked in their classrooms while preparing for exams
4. Gunmen believed isolated in the female dormitories
5. Some students make an escape through the fence
Attack as it happened
Who are al-Shabab?
Who is suspected mastermind?
The gunmen were eventually cornered in a dormitory by Kenyan security forces. Four of them died when their suicide vests detonated. A fifth gunman was reportedly arrested.
Al-Shabab, which is linked to al-Qaeda, said it carried out the attack. The group says it is at war with Kenya, which sent troops to Somalia in 2011 to fight the militants.
The Kenyan government has offered a reward of $53,000 (Â£36,000) for the man it says planned the killing - Mohamed Kuno, a former Kenyan schoolteacher, now thought to be in Somalia.

James Vincent and Miles Storey earned Inverness their first win of the season as Hearts suffered successive defeats.

Ryan Christie was the architect of the opener with a burst of pace down the left flank and composed cut-back which Vincent dispatched form close range.
Debutant Storey finished from an angle late on to seal the points.
It was a poor evening for Hearts, who had Juwon Oshaniwa dismissed just before the second goal after he lashed out at Tobi Sho-Silva.
This may be the spark Inverness require to progress this season.
Both sides handed debuts to recent recruits with Storey starting up front for the home side and Danny Swanson named in the Hearts line-up.
Hearts seemed to be edging the early stages with both sides comfortable in possession but rarely threatening.
Juanma Delgado broke into the box after Josh Meekings lost possession and claimed for a penalty under Ross Draper's challenge but the striker appeared to go down too easily.
Storey showed a flash of what he can offer when Danny Williams flicked a pass in behind, a heavy touch just carrying the ball through to goalkeeper Neil Alexander.
The game became more and more scrappy, exemplified when Juanma powered a fresh air-shot nowhere to the delight of the home crowd.
Oshaniwa then saw a low drive edge past the post after the ball deflected into his path before Robbie Neilson's side had a second penalty claim turned down.
Sam Nicholson struck a fierce effort off a defender's arm and referee Steven McLean seemed to make the correct call that there was no intent.
But Neilson seemed to believe hands were raised and made his thoughts known to an official.
Play improved in the second half and Christie, back on loan at Inverness after signing for Celtic, provided the spark the Highlanders needed.
He showed great pace to escape down the the left and squared accurately for the onrushing Vincent, who fired home from close range. It was Caley Thistle's first home goal in just over four and a half matches.
They took real confidence from that and looked far more purposeful.
Swanson offered most of Hearts' creativity but Owain Fon Williams was rarely troubled throughout as the visitors struggled to cut the home side open.
Oshaniwa was red-carded for hitting out at Sho-Silva after the pair had exchanged while awaiting a corner.
And Storey put the result beyond doubt after Iain Vigurs played a low ball across goal, striking powerfully past Alexander to seal a deserved Inverness win.

Russian PM Dmitry Medvedev has accused Ukraine of "sabotage" after damage to key electricity pylons deprived Crimea of power.

He said Ukraine was "seeking objectives that are practically terrorist".
Crimea's two million people have been severely affected since the pylons were damaged on 22 November. Anti-Russian activists have been blamed.
Ukraine said Tatar activists would need to allow repairs before the power supplies could be resumed.
The loss of power to Crimea has sparked a reduction of coal supplies to Ukraine from Russia and from the pro-Russian rebel-held eastern Ukraine.
Russian forces annexed Crimea from Ukraine in March 2014.
Crimea in the dark
Mr Medvedev was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying: "The region (Crimea) has been left without electricity as a result of, in fact, energy manipulation, actions by the Ukrainian authorities.
"And legally speaking, what was done is an act of sabotage, that is to say, the destruction of industrial facilities, seeking objectives that are practically terrorist."
Speaking at a meeting with deputy prime ministers in Gorky, he said Ukraine's actions had "endangered the lives and health of many people".
Mr Medvedev said the construction of an "energy bridge" from Krasnodar to Crimea was being speeded up.
Ukraine's Energy Minister Volodymyr Demchyshyn said Ukraine would meet 20% of Crimea's power supplies once the Kakhova-Tital electricity line was repaired.
But that could only happen at a time agreed with the activists, he said, stressing that Ukraine had asked them to permit repairs.
Mr Demchyshyn said that as soon as the line was repaired, "supplies of coal will also be resumed" to Ukraine.
Only 30% of Crimea's electricity is generated locally - the rest comes from Ukraine, Russia's government daily Rossiiskaya Gazeta reported.
A state of emergency was imposed in Crimea on Sunday, and Monday was declared a non-working day.
It is still not clear how exactly the pylons were damaged in Kherson, a Ukrainian region adjacent to Crimea.
Crimean Tatar activists suggested that the pylons were blown down by the wind. But Ukraine's state energy company, Ukrenergo, said the damage was caused by "shelling or the use of explosive devices".
The activists accuse Russia of abusing Tatar rights and denying them a voice since a pro-Moscow government was installed in Crimea.
Images on social media show Ukrainian flags on some damaged pylons - and Crimean Tatar flags on others.


A three-year-old girl managed to escape back to her mother after being carried off by a man in a supermarket.

The girl was walking with her mother before she was snatched, at Morrisons in Blackburn, Lancashire, at about 15:00 on Thursday.
The man initially carried her away down a travelator but then put her down and she was able to run back to her mother.
A 44-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of child abduction after the incident at the Railway Road store.
Det Insp Tim McDermott, of Lancashire Police, said the incident was "distressing" for the family and the motives for what happened were "unclear".


An organisation representing landowners has sought to reassure the public on the culling of mountain hares.

The Scottish Moorland Group has responded to concerns raised earlier this month about the shooting of the animals in the Cairngorms.
The cull prompted the Cairngorms National Park Authority to call for restraint in the culling of hares.
Tim Baynes, director of the Scottish Moorland Group, said culls were lawful and only done when numbers were high.
He said the animals were taken to control the spread of sheep ticks to grouse and to prevent damage to young trees and rare plantlife such as juniper and sphagnum moss.
Mr Baynes said: "We wish to reassure people that when culls are taking place there is no question of the population being 'wiped out'.
"Responsible culling of a range of species, including hares, is recognised and supported by a wide range of conservation bodies.
"There has been an issue raised by some about the scale of culling and it should be made clear that no responsible organisation supports indiscriminate culling.
"Within moorland management voluntary restraint is exercised and hares are only culled when numbers are at a high enough level to require it. There is no point in culling hares, or indeed any desire to, if there could be any risk to their conservation status."
Also known as blue hares, Scotland has almost all of the British mountain hare population.
They are Britain's only native hare and may have been here since the Ice Age.
The brown hare, which can be seen on farmland across Scotland, was introduced to Britain possibly by the Romans or during the Iron Age.
Heather moorland managed for grouse shooting provides the best habitat for mountain hare, according to public agency Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH).
However, SNH, the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust and Scottish Land and Estates - which is involved in the Scottish Moorland Group - have asked shooting estates to limit large-scale culls because of concerns about the species' conservation status.
An effort also started last year to provide clearer information on the health of hare populations.
Online there is a public petition seeking support for the mountain hare to be given protected species status. It has gathered more than 12,500 signatures so far.


A car bomb has exploded north of the Syrian capital Damascus killing at least 13 people including 10 policemen, activists say.

The overnight blast struck near a police station in the town of Deir Atiyeh, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
State-run Sana news agency confirmed the attack, saying "terrorists" had caused an unknown number of casualties.
The blast comes as the Syrian army tries to regain ground around Damascus.
Correspondents say the government looks poised to retake Jobar and advance towards Qaboun, both held for months by opposition forces.
Rebels have used Jobar and Qaboun to launch mortar rounds on government positions in the heart of the capital, reports say.
"The army is advancing rapidly in Jobar," a Syrian military commander told the Associated Press.
"The area will be secured in the next few days according to a well-studied plan."
The observatory - which relies on a network on opposition activists on the ground - said 200 civilians had been held captive by government troops inside a mosque in Qaboun on Sunday night.
They were able to escape when clashes broke out near the mosque and the army retreated, the observatory said. The report cannot be verified.
Meanwhile, fighting is said to have intensified in the city of Aleppo between jihadists and the main opposition forces the Free Syrian Army (FSA).
The clashes follow the assassination in Latakia of an FSA commander at the hands of a group linked to al-Qaeda.
The killing late last week is part of an escalating struggle within the armed uprising between moderates and Islamists.
In another development, the Pakistani Taliban told Reuters news agency on Sunday that they had sent "hundreds" of fighters to Syria.
A senior commander said they had gone at the request of "Arab friends" and had set up camps in Syria.
UN says more than 90,000 people have been killed in Syria since the uprising again President Bashar al-Assad began in 2011. A further 1.7 million have been forced to seek shelter in neighbouring countries.


Former champion jump jockey Richard Dunwoody is among the first volunteers for a research project examining the long-term effects of concussion on competitors in sports.

The study, Concussion in Sport, seeks to establish whether retired sportsmen and sportswomen have an increased incidence, or suffer an earlier onset, of neuro-degenerative disorders.
Dunwoody said: "It was accepted we would suffer concussion but we gave little thought to the long-term effects of repetitive head injuries."
The 52-year-old, who won the jockeys' title three times in a 17-year career ended in 1999 by a neck injury, added: "This is an important research project, not only for racing, but for all sports.
"It will be of great benefit to establish the facts regarding the effects of concussion and to be able to minimise risks for athletes in the future."
The initial screening process will focus on retired jockeys.
Former champion jockeys Sir Tony McCoy, Peter Scudamore, John Francome and Stan Mellor, whose sport has the highest recorded rates of concussion, have also volunteered for screening.
Funding and support for the project, which will subsequently extend to all sports in which concussion is a recognised risk, has come from a range of sources, including the Injured Jockeys' Fund (IJF), racehorse owners Godolphin and American football's NFL, as well as private backers.
The International Concussion & Head Injury Research Foundation is the European wing of a collaboration between existing projects in Australia, Switzerland and the USA.
The ICHIRF was founded in 2014 by Dr Michael Turner, the former chief medical adviser to British Horseracing, who now holds that position with the Lawn Tennis Association. He will lead the research project.
Dr Turner said: "For the first time, a state-of-the-art, controlled, multi-sport research study will look exclusively at concussion in European sportsmen and women, starting with a detailed study of over 200 former jockeys.
"Through impartial, objective analysis of a significant pool of data, we will seek to establish whether there is any correlation between repeated concussion and long-term damage to the brain."
The project also has the backing of former boxing world champion Barry McGuigan and England World Cup-winning rugby union coach Sir Clive Woodward.
Woodward said: "Concussion has now become a major concern for all contact sports. Only through high-quality, independent research can we uncover the true facts surrounding this complicated condition."
Retired sportsmen and women from other sports are being invited to enrol in the Concussion in Sport research, along with members of the public who have never had a concussion to contribute to the study as the 'control group'.


Stephen Toope has been chosen as the next vice-chancellor of the University of Cambridge.

He is currently director of the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs.
The Canadian academic, with an expertise in international law, was a postgraduate student at Cambridge in the 1980s.
Prof Toope will take over in October 2017, when the current vice-chancellor, Sir Leszek Borysiewicz, steps down.
The new Cambridge head, whose appointment will have to be approved by the university's governing body, is a former vice-chancellor of the University of British Columbia.
His academic work has specialised in human rights and international dispute resolution, and he has worked for the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances.
Prof Toope will be the 346th person to hold the office, in a role dating back to 1412.
He said: "I am thrilled to be returning to this great university.
"I look forward to working with staff and students in the pursuit of academic excellence and tremendous international engagement."


A late Kane Richards strike spoilt the day on York boss Gary Mills' homecoming as he secured a draw for Chester at Bootham Crescent.

Following a slow first half, the action livened up after the break.
Chester could have taken the lead when James Alabi forced Minstermen goalkeeper Kyle Letheren into a fine save with his feet on 67 minutes.
They were made to pay just three minutes later, when Matt Fry headed home Danny Galbraith's corner much to the relief of the home crowd.
Alabi was once again foiled by Letheren moments before Richards smacked the woodwork with nine minutes remaining.
But home hearts were broken when the striker made amends by heading in a left-wing cross on 89 minutes, a goal that condemned York to a 10th game without a win.

Residents of Corpus Christi, Texas, have been told it is safe to drink tap water again, after a chemical leak sparked a four-day ban.

The city's mayor said test results had showed no contamination, and locals could resume using water for drinking, bathing and cooking.
The ban was issued on Wednesday over fears that a leak at an asphalt plant could have tainted the water supply.
Long queues formed at grocery stores as shoppers stocked up on bottled water.
About 85% of Corpus Christi, which has a population of about 320,000, was under the restrictions.
The chemical behind the scare was Indulin AA-86, an asphalt emulsifier which can burn human skin in its concentrated form.
The leak took place at an asphalt plant leased to Ergon Asphalt and Emulsions by oil refiner Valero.
Mayor Dan McQueen told a news conference that investigations into the 24-gallon (91-litre) spill of Indulin AA-86 had determined that the water was safe to use.
It was not clear if the public water supply was ever contaminated by the chemical.
Officials said that none of the 28 drinking water samples analysed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tested positive for the contaminant.
However, the EPA said there have been seven "unconfirmed" reports of symptoms possibly related to prohibited water use.
Mr McQueen said officials would seek possible damages from those responsible for the leak.
There has been some confusion over exactly when city officials were notified of the problems at the plant that prompted the water use ban.
Valero Energy Corp said in a statement on Saturday that it had alerted the city to "milky, sudsy water" at the plant on 7 December - a full week before the ban was announced.
Ergon said the issue arose when "soap solution" flowed back into a pipe through which the plant receives water.
It said the pipe is not directly connected to the city's water main, but that the two are interconnected.
Corpus Christi locals have been warned to use water conservatively to avoid overtaxing the system.
The EPA will continue collecting and testing water samples in the city over the coming days.


Sex abuse victims have been "utterly marginalised" by an inquiry set up to help them, one of the victims claimed.

The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) is examining the extent to which religious groups and local authorities failed children.
Earlier this week a latest victims group - Survivors of Organised and Institutional Abuse (SOIA) - withdrew from the process.
The IICSA said it had "taken on board" a number of issues raised by SOIA.
SOIA said the group had taken the decision to withdraw "with regret" but said the inquiry was "not fit for purpose".
Set up in 2014, the inquiry has been beset by controversy, with three chairwomen stepping down, lawyers quitting and victims losing faith in the process.
One of the victims, Dr Phil Frampton, who grew up in Cornwall, said instead of being at the heart of the inquiry, survivors have been "utterly marginalised".
"This inquiry is not fit for purpose and has never been fit for purpose - we engaged to try to help it be fit for purpose, but it's actually going backwards," Mr Frampton said.
He said the Home Office had a "conflict of interest" and had failed to deal with abuse that had taken place, including in children's homes and approved schools it was responsible for prior to 1970.
"This is one of the darkest episodes in the country's history and if you've got people with conflicts of interest, they're never going to shine a torch into those dark places, for fear they'll see themselves," he said.
Dr Frampton has waived his right to anonymity.
More than 200 victims and survivors are involved in the inquiry, which was launched in 2014 by the then Home Secretary, Theresa May.
SOIA is the second victims' group to withdraw from the inquiry. Last September the Shirley Oaks Survivors Association announced it would be pulling out, having lost faith in an inquiry it believed was not independent.
"The heart of the inquiry is the big institutions who are using taxpayers' money to defend their institutions," Dr Frampton said.
"It is a callous and cold process the inquiry is inflicting on survivors."
The inquiry, chaired by Professor Alexis Jay, involves 13 initial investigations into allegations against local authorities, religious organisations, the armed forces, public and private institutions and people in the public eye.
In a statement, IICSA said it regretted SOIA's decision to withdraw and would welcome the group or individual members back,
It said it had "taken on board" a number of issues raised by SOIA, adding that the "important work" of the inquiry would continue.


Invest NI has published job creation and grant figures for each of Northern Ireland's council areas.

They show that in 2014/15, businesses in the Belfast council area received £85m, more than twice as much as any other council.
That included support for large expansions by firms like Citibank and PwC.
The lowest amount of grant aid went to Causeway Coast and Glens, which received £2m.
Belfast also saw the highest number of jobs created at 2,678.
Ards and North Down had the lowest number of jobs created at 286.
The highest levels of grants and job creation were concentrated in the main commercial and industrial areas of Belfast, Armagh, Banbridge, Craigavon and Mid Ulster.
Derry and Strabane is fifth in terms of grants awarded and jobs created.
Full breakdown of figures:

Seven other arrested men have been released on bail.


Andy Murray reached the third round of the Rogers Cup in Canada after a 6-4 7-5 win over Spaniard Tommy Robredo.

World number three Murray had to play on to a second day after the contest was rained off at 4-4 on Tuesday.
The 28-year-old Scot went a break down in the second set but recovered and faces Gilles Muller of Luxembourg next.
"It was tricky conditions, very windy, completely different to yesterday. When the shadow came across it became hard to pick up the ball," said Murray.
"I lost my timing in the middle of the second set but came up with some good shots towards the end.
"I feel much better on the court. I am hitting my backhand better and it forced Tommy to slice the ball. Then I could dictate the points. It wasn't something I could do early on in the year."
Should Murray reach the final in Montreal he will replace Swiss Roger Federer as number two in the world rankings. He last held the position - the highest of his career - in 2013.
Third seed Stan Wawrinka of Switzerland went out after withdrawing with a back injury as he trailed Australian Nick Kyrgios in the third set.
Croatian US Open champion Marin Cilic also lost, beaten 6-3 6-4 by Bernard Tomic of Australia.
Fourteenth-seed Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria was beaten 5-7 7-6 (7-5) 7-5 by unseeded American Jack Sock, who now plays top seed Novak Djokovic.
Spanish seventh seed Rafael Nadal beat Ukrainian Sergiy Stakhovsky 7-6 (7-4) 6-3, while fourth seed Kei Nishikori of Japan went through with a 6-3 6-3 win over Spain's Pablo Andujar.


A German court has sentenced a train controller to three and a half years in jail over a rail disaster in Bavaria which killed 12 people and injured 89.

The 40-year-old defendant, named as Michael P, admitted making a signalling error and dialling the wrong emergency number. Two commuter trains collided near Bad Aibling in February.
The controller also admitted having played a computer game on his mobile phone just before the crash.
He expressed "huge guilt" in the case.
"I would like you to know that my thoughts are with you," he told survivors, in a statement read by lawyers. The trial took place in Traunstein.
Those who died in the crash at Bad Aibling on 9 February were all men aged between 24 and 59.
Prosecutors said Michael P had been playing the fantasy game "Dungeon Hunter 5" on his phone when he allowed the two trains on to a single-track line.


Crawley failed to score at home for the first time this season as Accrington had the better of a 0-0 tussle at the Checkatrade.com Stadium.

Stanley defender Matty Pearson could have settled the issue late on but shot wastefully wide as John Coleman's side failed to take their chances.
Accrington were also denied by the woodwork and found keeper Glenn Morris in good form.
Visting keeper Elliot Parish came to his side's rescue in only the fifth minute by producing a tremendous reaction save to deny James Collins following a cross from Dutchman Enzio Boldewijn.
Sean McConville set up Terry Gornell at the other end but Crawley keeper Glenn Morris kept out his goal-bound effort.
Defender Pearson was twice off target for Accrington after Boldewijn fired over from a good position for the hosts.
Both sides went close shortly before the interval with keeper Parish saving well from Collins before a low drive from Jordan Clark was parried by opposite number Morris.
Crawley skipper Jimmy Smith cleared off the line from Omar Beckles and Accrington winger John O'Sullivan later shot against a post after Patrick Lacey had an effort blocked.

Coleraine's Alan Campbell remains on course for a place at a fourth Olympic Games after winning the men's single sculls at the GB Rowing trials.

The 32-year-old recorded his ninth win in 12 years, and his first since 2012, the year he also won Olympic bronze in London.
Enniskillen's Holly Nixon finished an impressive second in the women's single sculls at Caversham.
Peter Chambers and Joel Cassells were second in the men's lightweight pair.
Campbell started quickly and built a lead which he maintained throughout to lead home Graeme Thomas in second place.
"I'm very happy with that," he said.
"I'm hugely relieved. It's a hard, tough race, probably the hardest of the year, and it feels like a collective weight has been lifted.
"Now we can get on with forming crews and doing what has to be done this summer.
"I know where I want to be and I have put myself in a good strong position."
Nixon made the 'B' final of the women's single sculls twelve months ago but this was a big step up the ladder for the 22 year-old member of Portora Boat Club, as she finished second behind Vicky Thornley.
Great Britain have yet to qualify for Rio in the women's single sculls or women's quadruple sculls and the final qualifying regatta will be held in Lucerne in June, with Nixon now hopeful of selection.
The selection for the men's lightweight four promises to be just as tight.
Coleraine's Peter Chambers and Joel Cassells won the European title last year in the men's lightweight pair but were beaten into second place by Sam Scrimgeour and Jonno Clegg in a tight finish on Wednesday.
Richard Chambers missed the trials because of a hand injury but is expected to be selected alongside Will Fletcher, who won the lightweight single sculls.
The duo won silver at the 2015 World Championships in France in the lightweight double sculls.


A man convicted of killing Washington intern Chandra Levy has had all charges in his retrial dropped.

The US Attorney's Office said it had dismissed the case against Ingmar Guandique, an El Salvadorean immigrant.
Ms Levy, 24, had just finished an internship with the US Bureau of Prisons when she disappeared in 2001.
Her body was found in a park more than a year later, in a case that generated national headlines and claimed one politician's career.
Democratic politician Gary Condit, to whom Ms Levy was romantically linked, was a suspect in the murder and ended up leaving Congress.
According to the statement from the attorney's office, the case against Guandique was no longer one that prosecutors could prove beyond a reasonable doubt, due to "recent unforeseen developments".
"The government now believes it is in the interests of justice for the court to dismiss the case without prejudice," prosecutors wrote.
Levy's remains were found in Washington's Rock Creek Park in 2002 and prosecutors had argued at Guandique's trial that he preyed on female joggers.
He was found guilty of her murder in 2010 but granted a new trial last year after Guandique's lawyers successfully argued that a key witness had lied on the stand.
The dismissal of all charges against him means he will now be released to immigration authorities.
He is likely to be deported.
