Cardiff claim Burnley scalp to advance to EFL Cup fourth round
['Pa Sport Staff']
Shropshire Star
Cardiff reached the fourth round of the Carabao Cup for the first time since their march towards the final 13 years ago by stunning Premier League Burnley 2-1 at Turf Moor.
Goals from Joel Colwill and Callum Robinson handed the third-tier side a deserved win, although they were forced to ensure a nervous finale following Zian Flemming’s brilliant strike.
The smattering of City fans in the stand behind Max Weiss’ goal did their best to turn up the decibels, with Robinson sending an early shot just wide of the German’s left-hand post.
City punished that mistake in the 30th minute when Joel Colwill fired them in front.
They did, enjoying more possession and field position, but City’s organisation and desire ensured they remained at arms length for the most part until an error from Trott handed Burnley a route back in.
