Burnley earned the local bragging rights as they eased past Lancashire rivals Preston in the Capital One Cup.
Right back Kieran Trippier’s fifth minute free kick lit the fuse on a barnstorming cup tie before Danny Ings’ fourth goal of the season just after the half hour gave Burnley breathing space. Goalkeeper Alex Cisak, deputising for the suspended Tom Heaton, helped preserve that lead as North End rallied, making two agile saves in each half to deny Bailey Wright and Joel Byrom. And when Cisak was finally beaten, Jason Shackell’s goal line clearance was clear evidence this was not to be North End’s night, as Burnley went into the hat for Wednesday’s third round draw. Burnley made three outfield changes for the Turf Moor tie, which saw the experiment of lower tiers of the home stands only open to try and encourage a better atmosphere for the players. Ben Mee and Michael Duff both made their first starts of the season in defence, with Danny Lafferty and Kevin Long making way. And in midfield David Edgar started, with Dean Marney dropping to the bench. To read the full report please click on the linkbelow: |
