Premier League strugglers Burnley scored three first-half goals as they swept aside Championship team Millwall to reach the fourth round of the FA Cup.
The Clarets, without a win in 12 league games, only needed 11 minutes to take the lead when Jaidon Anthony played a pass to Jacob Bruun Larsen and his square ball was calmly converted by Ashley Barnes six yards out.
Loum Tchaouna made it 2-0 in the 35th minute with a low shot from the edge of the penalty area.
Bruun Larsen registered his second assist just before half-time, when he set up Anthony, who made it 3-0 with a fine first-time finish.
Barnes, who had not scored since March before this game, got his second of the afternoon in the 65th minute from 10 yards out after the visitors failed to clear Anthony’s cross from the right.
Dutch substitute Jaydon Banel scored his first goal for Burnley in the 89th minute after more poor defending from the visitors to make it 5-0.
Millwall got a late consolation from Josh Coburn in stoppage time with a lofted finish over home goalkeeper Max Weiss.
