A slip of the tongue from Vincent Kompany had Burnley preparing to switch their focus back to the Champions League rather than the Championship after overcoming Bournemouth to reach the FA Cup fourth round.
Even Kompany could not help joining in the laughter that followed. His accidental reference to Burnley and Europe’s biggest competition was totally at odds with the message he was trying his hardest to get across — his Clarets are not getting carried away.
‘With everything I say, I’m trying to just pull in the reins,’ the former Manchester City defender chuckled.
