Brownhill on target as Burnley progress in Cup
A THUNDERBOLT from Josh Brownhill sent Burnley on their way to a 2- 0 victory at Millwall in the Carabao Cup third round.
The wonder strike on the stroke of half- time, coupled with Matej Vydra’s late effort, gave Sean Dyche a victory at his old club and means this is the jointfurthest the Clarets have gone in the competition since the 49- year- old took over in 2012.
Progress came at a cost with forward Jay Rodriguez injured early on, but it will be Burnley who host the Thursday night winner of Manchester City or Bournemouth at Turf Moor next week.
Joelinton’s brace helped Newcastle to a 7- 0 demolition of 10man Morecambe, who had Toumani Diagouraga sent off after 33 minutes.

A Christian Fuchs own goal and a last- gasp Eddie Nketiah tapin saw the visitors wait on the outcome of Thursday’s tie between Lincoln and Liverpool.

Stoke saw off Gillingham 1- 0 with Tyrese Campbell’s first goal of the new season – a clinical finish after 37 minutes – enough to secure their progress to the last 16.
