FA Cup Third Round: Burnley 5 Millwall 1Ashley Barnes bagged a brace as Burnley put their Premier League worries on hold to cruise into the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 5-1 win over Millwall. Substitute Jaydon Banel added Burnley’s fifth on the stroke of 90 minutes before the shell-shocked Lions, who had completely capitulated, netted an added-time consolation through Josh Coburn. Burnley dominated the opening exchanges and grabbed the lead in the 11th minute when Jacob Bruun Larsen squared for Barnes to sweep home past visiting goalkeeper Steven Benda. The Lions mustered little in response, with Aidomo Emakhu booting their best chance straight at Burnley keeper Max Weiss after being released down the left by Joe Bryan. The keeper saved again from Cooper on the half-hour as Millwall threatened a leveller but the visitors were undone by two defensive errors that put the game beyond their grasp.
