Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper says Burnley deserved their Carabao Cup win at the City Ground.
Substitute Zeki Amdouni finished expertly on 90 minutes for the Clarets’ 1-0 second round triumph.
Cooper said, We got what we deserved in terms of the result. It does not need details today, it needs he basic fact that we fell short of our performance levels collectively and individually.
It wasn’t a great game, it had 0-0 written all over it but didn’t feel we would concede. Technically we were miles off it today.
It is something we need to look at, people will say we made a few changes but whether you have played the last few games or not, you have to be prepared to play. There is no reason why players should not hit the ground running with performance levels.
What really happen
Kompany made a last roll of the dice shortly afterwards, bringing on Wilson Odobert for his Burnley debut as well as Zeki Amdouni and Lyle Foster.
With six subs made, one extra owing to a concussion, presumingly for Ramsey, the last thing Burnley needed was another knock. That briefly looked like it would be the case when Foster took a blow to the head, but thankfully he soon got back to his feet and was able to continue.
With 11 men still on the pitch, the Clarets finally broke the deadlock in the last minute of normal time to the absolute jubilation of those away fans behind the goal.
Amdouni was the man to get it, cheating the ball down and slamming home from close range to score his first Burnley goal after fellow sub Sander Berge had made a great driving run forward.
But due to all of the stoppages, the fourth official signalled for 11 minutes to be added on, meaning Burnley still had plenty of defending to do to hold on.
The Clarets tried all the tricks in the book as the seconds ticked by, Muric predictably receiving a yellow card for taking too long over a goal kick.
Debutant Odobert should have put Burnley out of sight eight minutes into the 11 when he was sent clear through on goal after Forest had sent everyone bar their keeper forward. But a miraculous save from Turner kept the scores at 1-0.
While the home side continued to throw men forward, Burnley – and Muric in particular – held firm as the Clarets held out for their first win of the campaign
