The young striker netting on 82 minutes before converting his own penalty award just three minutes later.

Meanwhile Burnley lost 3-2 at home to Manchester City last night at Accrington Stanley's Fraser Eagle Stadium. The Clarets opened the scoring before the break through Adam Kay only for the visitors to race into a 3-1 lead with three goals in 17 minutes midway through the second-half, the City strikes coming from Robert Mak (2) and Jack Redshaw. James Craggs pulled a goal back for Burnley late on but the Citizens were able to hang on for all three points.
