Young Clarets knocked out by Oxford United on penalties in third round of FA Youth Cup, after 1-1 draw at Turf Moor.
The winners of the tie knew a home game in the fourht round awaited in January against AFC Bournemouth or Mansfield Town, who play tomorrow night.
Burnley got off to a dream start, as Michael Fowler took advantage of United goalkeeper Max Evans' error of clearing away, before sliding the ball home into an empty goal.
But in the 81st minute, Oxford’s second-half substitute Ryan Crooks fired in the equaliser from close range, in which Burnley defender Bobby Thomas was sent off after a tussle in the area during the celebrations.
