Burnley reaction | Joel Colwill

Joel Colwill
Joel Colwill spoke to the press following our Carabao Cup victory over Burnley, progressing into the Fourth Round.

City claimed a 2-1 win with Joel on the scoresheet, as well as a strike for Callum Robinson, the latter netting for a third consecutive game.

"It was a great night," the midfielder began. "I thought we played really well, especially some of our work in possession. 

"Bradford at the weekend were a very good team. It was important for us to bounce back and get another win on the board, move on from that defeat and start another run. Tonight was a really important win for us."

The Bluebirds looked comfortable and confident in possession throughout the contest, impressing with an effective high press. 

In the second half, City showed defensive resilience to see out the victory, as the Premier League side looked to draw level.

Joel continued: "Of course, Burnley are a very high-quality team with some very good players, so it was never going to be easy, but all we can do is play our football to the best of our ability, try to work harder than them and today we took the win.

"We do those things in possession all the time in training. We work on those patterns no matter who we’re playing against. We’re going to play our way and do what we can to the best of our ability.

"I think it’s brilliant for us as a squad to test ourselves and play against players who are in the best league in the world. It’s something that we can be proud of as a Club and see where we’re at."

Next up for City is an away clash with Wigan Athletic on Saturday, with attention now turning back to league action.

"We go into every game trying to win, no matter who it is against," Joel added. "Wigan away is a another game for us to give our all in. 

"I’ve really enjoyed it this season. I’ve come in and we’ve been playing good football. We’ve been winning games and I’ve loved being a part of it."
