Zeki Amdouni\u2019s last-minute goal clinched Burnley a 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest and sent his side into the third round of the Carabao Cup.<\/p>\n

The Switzerland forward, signed from Basel in July, stepped off the bench late in the second half and volleyed home from six yards to settle a largely forgettable tie between two Premier League rivals in the Clarets\u2019 favour.<\/p>\n

There was a minute\u2019s applause before kick off for police officer Sergeant Graham Saville, the uncle of Forest defender Joe Worrall, who has died after being hit by a train last Thursday while trying to save a distressed man on railway tracks.<\/p>\n

Worrall was suspended following his dismissal in Saturday\u2019s 3-2 Premier League defeat at Manchester United, while Forest boss Steve Cooper made seven changes.<\/p>\n

Argentina\u2019s World Cup-winner Gonzalo Montiel, on loan from Sevilla, and Brazilian teenager Andrey Santos made their full debuts and Anthony Elanga made his first start for the club.<\/p>\n

Burnley boss Vincent Kompany made 10 changes from Sunday\u2019s 3-1 home league defeat to Aston Villa, with\u00a0Aaron Ramsey and Jacob Bruun Larsen making their first starts.<\/p>\n

Neither side created a chance worthy of note until the 36th minute when Forest midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate blazed over after Chris Wood had intercepted a wayward back-pass.<\/p>\n

Burnley, who had already lost Brazilian Vitinho to injury in a tepid first half, were forced to replace Ramsey and Hjalmar Ekdal early in the second.<\/p>\n

Sweden defender Ekdal went down during a goalmouth scramble and needed lengthy treatment before being stretchered off the pitch and replaced by Josh Cullen.<\/p>\n

Both Forest and Burnley tried to inject some urgency into their play, but Nathan Redmond\u2019s shot veered off to the corner flag and Willy Bolly produced an air-shot with his shooting chance.<\/p>\n

Forest skipper Ryan Yates lifted the home crowd when he headed Elanga\u2019s cross inches wide.<\/p>\n

But Amdouni, a 78th-minute replacement for Jay Rodriguez, volleyed home unmarked from Josh Brownhill\u2019s headed flick-on to seal victory for the visitors.<\/p>\n

Fellow substitute Wilson Odobert had a\u00a0 golden chance to put the tie to bed moments later when he raced through on goal and although goalkeeper Matt Turner blocked his effort, Forest could not muster an equaliser.<\/p>\n
