Barnes Brace Leads Burnley Past Millwall in 5-1 FA Cup Rout

Scott Parker praises Ashley Barnes’ leadership to underscore a morale lift for a heavily rotated side.

Overview

  • The victory sends Burnley into the fourth round and offers brief respite from a Premier League campaign with three wins in 21 and 19th place.
  • Both managers rotated heavily, with Burnley making eight changes and Millwall seven for the third-round tie at Turf Moor.
  • Loum Tchaouna, Jaidon Anthony and Jaydon Banel added to Burnley’s tally, while Josh Coburn scored a late consolation for Millwall.
  • Backup goalkeeper Max Weiss, 21, delivered key stops in only his third appearance to snuff out potential Millwall momentum.
  • Millwall boss Alex Neil accepted his side deserved nothing, cited defensive errors, and said attention now turns to their play-off push.
