Burnley Reach Third Round of Qualification in Europa League After Extra Time Win Against Aberdeen

Burnley have reached the third qualifying round of the Europa League after beating Aberdeen 3-1 in extra time on Thursday night, triumphing over the Dons 4-2 on aggregate.

Chris Wood had initially put the English side ahead with a slammed finish into the roof of the net only for Lewis Ferguson to brilliantly net with an exceptional overhead kick.

However, Burnley were not to be denied and reached the third qualifying round thanks to Jack Cork's header and Ashley Barnes' penalty after a spot kick was awarded for handball.

The Clarets will now play Istanbul Basaksehir, the current team of former Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor and Barcelona loanee Ardan Turan.
