Burnley FC 1:1 Notts County — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Zian Flemming scored as Burnley edged Notts County 5-4 in a wild EFL Cup Round 1 tie, a result that sets up no confirmed next opponent. The Clarets survived a late scare despite trailing early and conceding four on the night, with the scoreline flattering a contest that was far tighter than the final margin suggests.

Notts County struck first through Callum Roberts in the 42nd minute, assisted by Nick Tsaroulla, only for Flemming to level two minutes after the interval with Marcus Edwards providing the assist. The Magpies then pushed hard, earning three yellow cards across the second half and stoppage time, while Burnley’s Flemming and goalkeeper James Belshaw were also booked in the 93rd minute as the game frayed at the edges.

The numbers tell a blunt story: Burnley dominated possession with 74% to Notts County’s 26% and fired 12 shots to their six, yet the visitors controlled the flow in both halves according to pressure data. Flemming was the standout, his 7.7 rating and single goal from the forward position proving decisive in a chaotic shootout. CheckLive’s model clearly favoured Notts County, and the result did not confirm it, though the live signals backed Burnley at 2.75 and won.
