Burnley 3 Aberdeen 1 (aet, 4-2 agg): Cork and Barnes see off brave Dons

Burnley needed extra time to see off Aberdeen in the all-British Europa League clash, with Jack Cork and Ashley Barnes scoring vital goals.

Extra-time goals from Jack Cork and Ashley Barnes spared Burnley's blushes as they beat Aberdeen 3-1 in the second qualifying round of the Europa League, progressing 4-2 on aggregate.

Despite struggling at times during a 1-1 draw at Pittodrie, Sam Vokes' away goal gave Burnley an advantage they looked set to capitalise upon emphatically when Chris Wood delighted Turf Moor with a sixth-minute opener.

But Derek McInnes' men responded with style and character – their belief only growing when 18-year-old Lewis Ferguson acrobatically netted his first professional goal before the half hour.
