Clarets Cup Report: Burnley 4 Preston North End 4

John Townson's side claimed their first point of the Clarets Cup in group A, after a last minute penalty ensured the honours were even in a 4-4 draw with local rivals Preston North End.

A first half hat-trick from striker Joe McGlynn had the Clarets leading 3-1 at the break, however the visitors hit back twice in quick succesion in the second-half, before grabbing a fourth in the 88th minute.

However, Burnley were awarded a penalty in the last minute of the game, which Corey Brennan stepped up and slammed home from the spot.

The Clarets got off to a dream start, as Ben Woods played a lovely ball into the feet of Tremaine Eastmond, who then teed up McGlynn to slot home the opener with just three minutes gone.
