Salford City 0-4 Burnley: Clarets cruise into Carabao Cup fourth round

Burnley's second string team brushed off League Two strugglers Salford to cruise into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup.

The Clarets, who are yet to win in the Premier League this season, made 11 changes from Saturday's defeat by Manchester United.

Vincent Kompany's side took an early lead as Sander Berge was left free in the box to head home from Anass Zaroury's corner.

Jacob Bruun Larsen then dinked the ball over Alex Cairns from Zaroury's pass.

Dara O'Shea pounced from close range to put the result beyond any doubt after 27 minutes as Salford's defence failed to deal with a left-wing ball from the lively Zaroury.
