Shrewsbury Town 0-1 Burnley: Samuel Bastien fires Clarets into third round of Carabao Cup

Samuel Bastien scored his first goal for Burnley since a summer move from Standard Liege

Championship side Burnley edged out League One Shrewsbury at the Montgomery Waters Meadow Stadium to reach round three of the Carabao Cup.

Matthew Pennington went close for the Shrews, forcing keeper Bailey Peacock-Farrell to save at full stretch.

But Benson Manuel's low cross picked out Samuel Bastien who drilled a finish into the bottom corner to win it.

The hosts did find the net when Chey Dunkley headed in Luke Leahy's cross, but the flag went up for offside.

Only left-back Charlie Taylor and midfielder Josh Cullen were retained from the Burnley side which drew 3-3 with Blackpool, while Shrews boss Steve Cotterill made four changes for the tie.

Burnley had more than 80% possession and made 397 passes in a forgettable first half, but were unable to muster a shot on target.

Vincent Kompany - a four-time League Cup winner with Manchester City - brought on Nathan Tella at the break to add attacking edge, and within five minutes Burnley were ahead, as Bastien's first goal for the Clarets - their only attempt on target - ended their four-match winless run.

Charlie Caton sent Tom Bloxham charging towards goal and his low drive forced Peacock-Farrell to save, but Shrewsbury failed to score for a fifth time in seven matches this season.

Shrewsbury manager Steve Cotterill told BBC Radio Shropshire:

"They didn't deserve to lose the game tonight I don't feel. We had more shots on target and more efforts. Obviously we didn't have the possession but we know that's perhaps going to happen anyway.

"We made one mistake when they got an overload for the goal when they got three against two and we didn't stop the cross. We made one mistake tonight and even Marko (Marosi) nearly saved that.

"All in all, I'm only disappointed with the result because I don't think we deserved that.

"I think our goal's onside. Unless there's a better angle to look at it, it looks like a goal to me and I think we were well worth that."

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany told BBC Radio Lancashire:

"The fact we were able to make changes and still see a similar kind of picture from our team, a clean sheet, a good away win from a difficult away game against a League One team, I think the lads will be happy to bring the fans into the next round.

"I've never seen a team get anywhere in this competition without using the full extent of its squad.

"This is also the best way to prepare the players for what they're going to be needing to do soon, which is to step in and help us in the Championship as well.

"It's an important result for us tonight and we're happy to go through."
