Substitute Lucas Moura scored the only goal of a dire game to knock the Clarets out of the Carabao Cup.

In a game that never really got going, a second half headed goal from Moura was enough to see Spurs progress to the quarter finals of the Carabao Cup at the expense of the Clarets.

Key Events

  • Burnley looking to progress the quarter finals
  • Ben Mee returns to the squad following injury
  • Jay Rodriguez starts after scoring four in the previous round against Rochdale

Harry Kane volleys well over the bar after a flick on from a Spurs corner.

One minute of added time.

A half of very few chances, the best falling to Harry Kane who has so far forgotten his shooting boots, thankfully.

Clarets are back on the pitch, here’s hoping for a more lively second half. So far this is on a par with the Newcastle tie in terms of excitement.

We’re back underway!

Josh Browhill restarts the game. No changes to either side.

Dwight McNeil plays the ball wide to Pieters whose cross is headed back goalwards by Gudmundsson towards Rodriguez, but it hits the strikers arm and a free kick is awarded. Burnley’s best bit of attacking play so far tonight.

Double Burnley sub: Wood and Barnes replace Vydra and Rodriguez.

Big save from Pope to deny Lo Celso from close range after Wood is caught in possession.

Double Spurs sub: Son replaces Bergwijn, Ndombele replaces Skipp who could easily have seen red in the first half.

GOAL! Lucas Moura

Emerson Royal swings in a cross for Lucas Moura to head past Nick Pope.
