ALLEN KEY AS CLARETS SUNK AGAIN

-

JAMIE ALLEN steered Burton into the last 16 for the first time as Burnley suffered another knockout embarrassm­ent. The midfielder (below) took Liam Boyce’s pass and slotted a shot under Tom Heaton to complete a remarkable comeback for Nigel Clough’s side. Burnley had looked to be going through when Kevin Long headed in from Johann Berg Gudmundsso­n’s corner in the 40th minute. But the Clarets have gone out of this competitio­n to lower-division opposition in the past four seasons. Boyce, who missed most of last season with knee ligament damage, grabbed the equaliser with a shot that surprised Heaton at his near post in the 62nd minute.
