REPORT: Burnley 1 Sunderland 3
The Clarets’ woeful recent record in the Carabao Cup was extended by another shock defeat as League One Sunderland came from behind to book their place in the third round.
Sean Dyche’s men looked as though they would avoid a sixth successive exit to a lower ranked side when Jay Rodriguez put them ahead just 12 minutes in.
The summer signing first made his name as a Burnley player with some high-profile goals as the Clarets reached the semi-final of the competition in 2009.
