Carabao Cup wrap: Dara O'Shea nets as Burnley rout Salford City, while Jack Taylor scores screamer for Ipswich

Republic of Ireland defender Dara O'Shea scored his first goal for Burnley as they put their Premier League troubles to one side by breezing into the last 16 of the Carabao Cup with a 4-0 demolition of Sky Bet League Two strugglers Salford.
