Burnley trailed for most of the game to Cameron Jerome's 29th minute header, and were only rescued by Matej Vydra's goal deep into stoppage time. Despite Dons hitting the post in extra time, two saves from Will Norris in the Clarets' net allowed Phil Bardsley to score the decisive penalty to send the Premier League outfit into the fourth round draw.

Dyche said: “I thought the performance was decent. It was made even trickier by a good MK Dons side that tried to take the game on.

“One of our big things is going to the final whistle and we did that again today. Really good finish by Vyds, real desire.

“The chances count is as high as I’ve seen for a while, and within that the chances on target, and within that the quality chances. You’ve got to take them. We’ve had so many good chances.

“I thought their keeper was excellent. It’s a strange one. You look at our side and say we should have won that game and we did in the end.”
