Scott Parker’s side paid the price for a wretched first-half, where they could have no complaints with being 2-0 down at the interval.
While the Clarets improved marginally in the second period, halving the deficit through Zian Flemming, they still don’t do enough to take the game to penalties.

The most disappointing thing from Parker’s point of view will be how his fringe players failed to take their chance, having made all 11 changes to his side for the second round running.

9. Marcus Edwards - 4/10
Such an enigma. Brings quality on the ball that no-one else possesses, but shows such a lack of interest in tracking back. Should have hit the target with his shot in the second-half. Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
10. Armando Broja - 5/10
Looked rusty again. Perhaps should have done better when he went through on goal only to be denied by the keeper’s legs. Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
11. Zian Flemming - 7/10
Halved the deficit with a lovely curling finish, having already come close with two other efforts. Still doesn’t look 100% match fit though. Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
12. SUB: Jaydon Banel - 6/10
For Ugochukwu, 68 Tried to make things happen from the right, but tried to force it too much at times and he found space hard to come by. Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard Photo: Kelvin Lister-Stuttard
