Oliver Sonne’s stoppage-time strike proved to be enough to ensure Burnley’s name goes into the hat following their 2-1 win over their Championship opponents.
Despite taking an early though through Aaron Ramsey, Scott Parker’s side were pegged back by Bobby Clark’s strike and otherwise struggled to break down a well-organised Rams side.
Here’s how Burnley’s players rated:

6. Josh Laurent - 7/10

7. Aaron Ramsey - 7/10
A great personal moment to score on his first start since February 2024 and his first Burnley goal full stop. Took it well too. Big plus to get so many minutes under his belt. (Photo by Ben Roberts Photo/Getty Images) Photo: Ben Roberts Photo
