Pearson settled the Burnley tie in the 120th minute

Accrington beat Burnley 1–0 on 24 August 2016, with Matty Pearson scoring in the 120th minute. The second-round match was played at Stanley's home ground in front of 3,170 spectators. It was settled at the very end of extra time.

Pearson's goal is the important name-and-time combination for anyone looking up the winner. The score was not decided by penalties: the decisive strike counted as the only goal of the match. That distinguishes this Burnley tie from the shoot-out Stanley had already survived in the opening round.

The match record also includes the starting teams and substitutes, allowing supporters to place the goal within that evening's side. When revisiting the footage or a programme, use the August 2016 date and second-round label; the final-minute finish belongs to this specific meeting with Burnley.

An 11–10 shoot-out before the Burnley win

Stanley started the 2016/17 competition with a goalless home draw against Bradford. They won the resulting shoot-out 11–10, a much larger penalty tally than the match's 0–0 score. Burnley were then beaten before a trip to West Ham in round three.

West Ham won that tie 1–0. Across the three matches, Accrington scored once and conceded once in open match play, with the Bradford penalties recorded separately. That unusual combination helps explain how a campaign with so few goals could still produce two rounds of progress.

The following season began differently: Stanley beat Preston 3–2 at home, then lost 3–1 at home to West Brom. Those results offer a contrast to the tight 2016 run. They should not be added to the Bradford–Burnley–West Ham sequence, which all belongs to the previous season.
