Midfielder previews Clarets' trip to Shrewsbury

Josh Brownhill, who opened the scoring with an excellent strike on Saturday in the 3-3 draw with Blackpool at Turf Moor, spoke to Clarets+ ahead of Vincent Kompany's side's visit to the Montgomery Waters Meadow Stadium in the Carabao Cup second round.

The Warrington-born midfielder reached the semi-finals with Bristol City in the competition back in 2017/18 and is hoping for more of the same this time round with the Clarets.

Brownhill on Saturday's goal and result against Blackpool:

“Gutted still, to be honest. I think we deserved to win for the majority of the game, we had a 10/15-minute period where they were on top, and they capitalised.

“Looking back, really disappointed but overall, a lot of positives to take from the game. The first half we were excellent and even parts of the second half.

“It’s always nice to score, I’ve not scored loads in my time at Burnley, so hopefully this is the year.

“It was a good ball in from Taylor (Harwood-Bellis) to Jay Rod, who laid off well and I just hit it.

“It didn’t really process that it had the back of the net, until a few seconds after!”

Brownhill on Tuesday night's upcoming clash:

“I’m excited, it’s another game, a chance to get through into the second round of the cup.

“We played them in pre-season not too long ago and it was a good game down there.

“We were excellent, but it won’t be easy for sure, and we know they will cause a threat.

“But, hopefully we can go down there and get a result and get through to the next round.”

Brownhill on his previous experience in the competition:

“It was an amazing run-in, probably one of the highlights of my career.

“We had a really tough run from the start, we played Crystal Palace, Watford, Manchester United and Manchester over two legs.

“But I think that was the year City had their best season, got over 100 points and we were probably one of the only teams to go there (Etihad) and give them a really good game.

“They scored late on in stoppage time, then at Bristol scored two in stoppage time, but it was a really good experience and really good year.”
