Boro manager Spencer Day said: “I thought we started brightly and played some fantastic football. We defended so well second half. What a shift from the boys.”

Clarets boss Robbie Simpson was sanguine, saying: “I don’t think we did badly but at the same time we didn’t give a good enough account of ourselves, especially in the first half.”

Farnborough started brightly and led when Richard Chin got on to a ball on the right byline and produced a perfect cutback for Millar Matthews-Lewis to sweep into the net.
