Cardiff 'the better team' in Burnley triumph
- Published
Former Wales striker Iwan Roberts says Cardiff City were worthy winners after they shocked Premier League Burnley in the Carabao Cup.
Cardiff are through to the fourth round of the competition for the first time in 13 years after they responded to their first League One defeat of the season in style.
Head coach Brian Barry-Murphy made five changes to the side beaten by Bradford City on Saturday, but the Bluebirds were still strong enough to beat Scott Parker's second-string Burnley line-up 2-1 at Turf Moor.
"It was a great performance," Roberts told BBC Radio Cymru.
"Brian Barry-Murphy got the reaction he hoped for. Scott Parker made 11 changes to the Burnley team from the weekend, but they still had a strong side.
"Cardiff were so positive from the start – they played attacking football from the first whistle. Cardiff were the better team."
Fourth-round ties will be played in the week commencing Monday, 27 October, with Cardiff set to discover who they will face next in Wednesday night's draw.
