Last update on. From the section League Cup
Wayne Hennessey hadn't played in a club match for almost a year. He was also back-up to Danny Ward at Euro 2020 in Wales.
Wayne Hennessey made a memorable debut when Burnley defeated Newcastle United 4-3 on penalties in order to reach the Carabao Cup Third Round.
In normal time, the Welshman saved Jeff Hendrick and Dwight Gayle from Javier Manquillo. The Clarets did not make any effort in the 90 minute goalless period.
Hennessey saved Allan Saint-Maximin from the opening penalty of the shootout.
He also saved Miguel Almiron, as Charlie Taylor won the award.
After seven years at Crystal Palace, Hennessey, now 34, transferred to Turf Moor on a free transfer. He hadn't played in a club match since September 15th last year.
He also participated in the Carabao Cup stage that day, saving a penalty and missing one in a shootout loss to Bournemouth following a 0-0 draw.
Both sides had lost their first two Premier League matches. However, both sides made significant changes. Jamaal Lascelles and goalkeeper Jamaal Woodman were both retained by Newcastle. Meanwhile, Sean Dyche, Burnley manager, made six changes, including a second debut for Aaron Lennon, a newly signed winger.
Jeff Hendrick of Newcastle, who was facing his old club, started brightly. His shot from 25 yards missed the post after 10 minutes. He then had a shot blocked 20minutes later.
The game was still a good one after the break, but without Hennessey's bravery Burnley would have been well-beaten.
He saved Hendrick's goal from four minutes after the restart, after Joelinton's six-yard shot was missed.
Gayle, the Brazilian strike partner, struck the bar from a narrow angle six minute later. The pair then linked up again when Gayle saw Hennessey save well from a close-range attempt.
Joelinton provided Manquillo with another chance, which Hennessey missed.
While the Clarets brought in Ashley Barnes, the hosts replied with Saint-Maximin Joe Willock and Almiron. Both sides attempted unsuccessfully to win.
Saint-Maximin's first shot was saved by Hennessey, but Woodman and his opposite number were defeated by the six next kicks.
Woodman saved Josh Brownhill's penalty, but Hennessey did his best to save Almiron’s weak attempt with the next kick. Taylor's victory sealed Burnley's progress and gave him a tie at home with League Two side Rochdale.
Sean Dyche, Burnley manager, spoke to BBC Radio Lancashire
"It was tight and Wayne made two important saves during it.
"We are repairing the side once more, so we hope that it recovers quickly. When you consider we played Erik Pieters at three different positions in one match, it's not the ideal scenario.
"But the fighting qualities, the mentality were good, we kept foraging and tried to break them down while trying to defend properly. Overall, we came away with an sneaky one on penalties. But we'll take that."
Steve Bruce, Newcastle United manager, spoke to BBC Radio 5 Live:
We all know that penalties can be won or lost.
"The performance of the entire team was what really pleased me. We were outstanding throughout.
"If you are critical, we missed big, huge chances. At this level against a Premier League side, you have to take them.
"But overall, I thought the team was excellent in defensive play. Burnley never had a shot and my goalkeeper has not made a save.
"But we are not having any luck at this time. "We have to keep pounding away, and it will change," I assure you.
