Burnley 1-0 Barnsley in FA Cup third round

Chris Wood scored a stoppage-time penalty as Burnley beat Barnsley to reach the FA Cup fourth round.

Liam Lindsay brought down Matej Vydra before Wood - a 74th-minute replacement for Sam Vokes - scored low to Adam Davies' right at Turf Moor.

Premier League Burnley had a first-half penalty overturned by the video assistant referee (VAR) for offside.

Moments later, Cameron McGeehan's header for League One Barnsley was ruled out for offside.

Barnsley pay the penalty

Burnley, who made eight changes to the side that beat Huddersfield in the Premier League on Wednesday, had gone 64 games without being awarded a penalty before referee Simon Hooper pointed to the spot twice on Saturday.

The impressive Vydra won both, although he was unable to take the first after a VAR review revealed he was just offside when he received the ball from Steven Defour.

Burnley appeared to criticise the decision in a half-time tweet, but later apologised and said it was intended as a "light-hearted comment".

Burnley enjoyed a resurgence in the second half, when they registered seven shots at goal - and they were finally rewarded when Lindsay lunged at Vydra near the byeline.

Although promotion-chasing Barnsley enjoyed more possession against a side two divisions above them, they did not produce a shot on target.

Wood has now scored four goals in the third round for four different teams - West Brom, Brighton, Leicester and Burnley.

'We've pieced together a side' - what they said

Burnley manager Sean Dyche said: "We've pieced together a side and I'm pleased because that was a good Barnsley side.

"I felt we had enough to win the game and did enough to win the game, especially at the end of a big, important week for us.

"I'm a big advocate of VAR but the referee needs to hold the ball. I know they want to be right, but they do need to speed it up and those things will get ironed out.

"The referee allowed the set-up for a penalty and I know we are learning about it, but the referee should grab the ball and walk outside the penalty area, so there are no implications.

"Matej had got to the point of his run-up before the referee blew his whistle and said 'no'.

"That delay was what annoyed me - not the outcome - because once you know that is right you quickly move on."

  • Well done Burnley - get the result - move onto the next! I like the McNeil factor - another Trevor Steven? 100% pass completed, 3 shots - MoM again?

  • Unlucky to Barnsley for not getting a replay good luck for the rest of the season up the claret

  • VAR farce. No announcement a review was taking place, the penalty run up starts and then the ref signals VAR without viewing the action and makes an offside call.
    It has to be better than this.
    A poor game and one Burnley just deserved to win.

  • @ Number 6 JayRM

    "SOCCER".....Says it all

  • A replay would have been an unwelcome distraction for a small Burnley squad, important goal at the end.

    For Burnley, European football, prem survival and a run to FA Cup semis would be a tremendous season!

  • 6 JayRM
    And to think you wrote that you are not a troll. Oh dear.

    Looks like the Clarets have found a good un in McNeil . Plus Defour, Ward and Pope all back playing. Good day all round.

    Burnley and Dyche are really annoying, play the most dismal anti football and constant complaining from that Dalek voiced slab of ham.

    ________

    Well, I have to agree, Burnley don't play as good football as Real Madrid's feeder club. Kane young enough to make a mark at the Bernabéu from next season, especially with Bale getting the crosses in and Pochettino's tactics...

  • VAR continues to be a shambles

    Why can't it be like rugby with the ref in control ? Perfection is not possible in any circumstance. VAR should, used properly, lead to an improvement not to more confusion

  • A few firsts today - avoided the banana skin, scored a penalty and the Vydra played 90 mins - tough on Barnsley but onwards and hopefully upwards for the Clarets

  • Good to see workouts given to Pope, Vydra, Defour and Ward... and McNeil getting more and more commanding. Bodes well for the rest of the season. Defensive play was needed to get confidence back in that department, though of course our usual trolls don't get it. Relieved no injuries too. Although PL is priority, a minor cup run will keep others match fit. Good day all round, Clarets.

  • 64 domestic games without a penalty. We got 1 in the Europa this season!

  • Not the greatest game with only two shots on target from Burnley. A win is a win and so its on to the next game. The biggest priority for Dyche and Burnley must be PL survival at all costs.

  • Again “No Hart” - “Clean sheet”..! No coincidence.

  • Barnsley did well, especially after getting a clean sheet away at my free scoring Luton.

  • Good to see Woodsy finding some consistent scoring form again, even though it wss a pen. Bodes well for premier league survival.
    Must say though, Sean Dyche weird conspiracy theory comment #54.

  • @29

    Lol, no-one is falling for your 'I'm a massive Burnley fan' claim. You weren't at the game either...

  • VAR = Voice Activated Rubbish.

    How bizarre that from an incident on the pitch to a decision being made by the ultimate man in control AKA the Referee, that he can then reverse his decision based upon a late VAR call and cancel a penalty just before the player sets off to kick the ball.

    Anyway, up the Clarets but concentrate on the PL not the cup please lads.

  • It's only taken 65 games for Burnley to get a penalty.

  • Well @17 Nig R, what is your problem? Is it because you are such a massive underachiever with your own life that you have to try and abuse anyone who has actually achieved great things in football. A certain amount if self abuse seems likely here. Oh and Burnley scrapped this one against a club how many places below them?

  • in the Hat for round 4 ,,,,,,nice warm up for our lads Barnsley gave us a good Hard Game witch we needed ,,,,, a few of our lads needed Good look for Rest of your Season Barnsley leave them sheep alone haha
