Burnley knocked out of Europa League by Olympiakos

Burnley failed to make it to the Europa League group stage after wasting a string of chances in their play-off round second leg against Olympiakos at Turf Moor.

Trailing 3-1 from the first leg in Greece, Sam Vokes spurned two great goalscoring opportunities before hitting the post, while Ashley Barnes and 18-year-old Dwight McNeil also went close.

The Clarets were punished when Daniel Podence fired into the roof of the net after a counter-attack before substitute Matej Vydra scrambled an equaliser.

However, Burnley lost on 4-2 on aggregate and, after securing a return to European football for the first time in 51 years, they are out after just 36 days and six games.
