Irish eyes smiled on Turf Moor as Jimmy Dunne made a successful debut and Robbie Brady rolled in the winning penalty as the Clarets went through in the Carabao Cup.
With central defenders James Tarkowski and Ben Mee both out through injury, Dunne stepped into the breach for his first senior appearance in a Burnley shirt.
And the 22-year-old Irishman impressively stood up to the challenge alongside countryman Kevin Long as Burnley came from behind to draw 1-1 with Sheffield United and then advance to round-three with a perfect record in the penalty shoot-out.
“I tried to remain focused and do my job the best I could and communicate well and stick to the basics, and that’s what I’ll continue to do in the future,” said Dunne, who joined the Clarets four years ago after leaving Manchester United.
